Feature:
The features are great for notation software but I wish it came with a way to make custom template scores. Far to often I have to open up a lead sheet and add the instruments I want because of the lack of that option. Its not a huge deal, however, which is why it still gets a 9.
Quality:
Ive had very few crashes and bug problems compared to my experiences with Macintosh and Encore. I'd give it a 10 but it does seem to crash sometimes whenever I accidently paste a lot of material in the wrong place...so again..9.
Value:
It is a little too high in cost for the typical musician. It should be around the $325-375 area. I know a lot of musicians who would like to buy it but can't afford it (without saving up for a few months) which = 9.
Desirability:
I like the way it works, especially compared to Finale 2004 which would take a few days just to figure out what it's menu does. So for PC, there's no other option as far as Im concerned.
Sound:
The sound depends on your sound card or midi face, but it plays most of everything you notate as you would want it. I cant get it to play manually inserted falls and rips and turns for some reason, which is why it gets a 9.
Support:
The help menu and the online help are great! No complaints here.
Overall:
This will last for a long time but I would recommend upgrading to Sibelius 3 (something Im planning on doing).

Feature:
Yes my product included accessories. The most useful features are the sound, the speed, and the comfort. I don't really think that there are any uneeded features in this program. To be honest, I didn't find any features that I thought would make this program better. I didn't use the program for guitars.
Quality:
Yes this product is made well.
Sound:
I think that the sound is very good, but the Kontakt Silver software that comes with it is not as good as Kontakt Gold. That is why I rated it an 8. The sound that comes with this program meets all my requirments, and I am happy with everything that is featured in the sound. Unfortunately, I am not that experienced in this program, but I can surely say that it is the best sound that I have heard compared to other programs.
