It's author wants $70.00 for it, which is probably not too bad, but I hate to jump into another program without even knowing how its printed output will look. The eval. version is very wounded .... can't save, can't print. I can understand they don't want to give it all away, but that is how I got stuck with G7. Sibelius' demo looks good, but only after buying and working with it a bit have I found out how much I hate it!
Today's "feature", for example ....
I have a simple piece of music that's in 4/4. The first measure has a dotted quarter note, then an eight note, another dotted quarter and an eighth note. G7 lets me place the dotted quarter, fights, but ultimately allows entering the 1st eight note. It allows me to place the next dotted quarter, but then deletes the dot when I enter the last eighth note. Now, I'm assuming that my arithmetic (and that of the original author of the 16th century piece) is correct ... that a dotted quarter = 3 eighth notes, 2 of those make up 6 possible eighth note spots and 2 eighth notes finish it off for a complete measure without any rests.
G7 also has this weird ghost-note thing that once it puts those in you can't delete them. (I'm really looking forward to a little discussion with those people at NAMM this year!).

Harmony Assistant would be worth a try as a program to match his requirements.
