My response is this:
I write and arrange MUCH better using Finale instead of paper and
pencil. I guess my inner ear is just not advanced enough to be able
to write and know exactly how something will sound, so I rely on
Finale playback to test my "theories."
I think that Beethoven and Mozart would have used Finale if it were
available back in their day.
The request for new topics plus the fact that there's a Mythbusters marathon
going on got me thinking about confirming or busting a notation myth. I've
heard many composers state that composing/arranging on paper with pencil is
not only preferable but artistically "better" than composing directly into a
computer notation application.
What are your thoughts? Discuss.
