Worth every penny personally. It really is a great tool. It depends on what your needs are, how often you use it, budget, etc. https://www.musitek.com/ ----- composer | sound designer LilyPond Tutorials (for beginners) --> http://bit.ly/bcl-lilypond -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Photoscore-tp196994p197003.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
