And BarFly, though you probably wouldn't want to.

And what if a tune is more than a page long?  BarFly's model is
horrendous for this - it treats each score as a galley proof and
slices it up with a virtual guillotine, so you often end up with
odd notes on the wrong page.  I believe there are workarounds for
this, but they're far too complicated for me to want to deal with.
A newpage command that told the program that all the music before
it went on one page and all after it on the next would sort this.
