Subj; Macintosh Professional Composer


	This is not the perfect place to ask this question, but I
would think you folks would be more likely to own this than any
of the PC groups.

	Question;  Has anyone had any hands-on experience with
Mark of the Unicorn's 'Professional Composer' package?

	Anyone own it?  I am considering purchasing it, but none
of the stores has it in stock.  They'll order it, but then I'm
stuck with it, whether or not it fills my needs.

	Mainly, I want to know how flexible it is.  Can I really
enter the 'Rite of Spring'?  Or works with complex rhythms? Just
what are the limitations of the thing?

	Can you make up your own symbols?  Traditional notation
is so vast, that it is hard to imagine that the programmers thought
of/included everything.  (String harmonics, glissandi, 'Bartok' pizz.,
quarter-tones, etc., not to mention contemporary innovations)
