Johannes, I built my tape recorders. But then I didn't have to make a living :-).
I know, notation software is not trivial. But asking for the obvious isn't trivial either. Yeah, one can find all kinds of loopholes: the market is too small, the program is complicated, the programming expensive, marketing costs, advertising. Surely, but these are the risks of running a business. I remember when selling computer software. People were constantly asking why they had to buy a separate word processor, a separate spread sheet, why the database wasn't communicating with the spreadsheet (a very obvious question), etc. Remember Word Perfect? Very good processor. It still exists, but it's just a word processor. Word Star and other single packages fell by the wayside once Microsoft got their act together. Programming language packages on the other had started out complete. Think about it: what if the word processor, libraries, kernel and compiler would have all come in separate boxes? Or the elements of an operating system would have to be bought in separate chunks, the user interface, printing, kernel, libraries (dll), the registry and so many other elements, Internet interface, communications, etc, etc. I think computing would still be in the DOS age and a very exasperating experience.
