What these programs do is not trivial; considering the relatively small potential user base, as compared with MS Office, I think they are priced fairly. I understand that Logic, a MAC-only DAW, has the best notation functionality of all such programs; at least they claimed that as late as the last Win version before Apple bought them out. Maybe that program would be more appropriate for you, if you're a MACie. Many folks think it has the best sequencing functionality.
