cool. i just found the Finale NotePad. looks pretty good, but i don't see any drum noteheads yet, for cymbals, open & closed HH, but i think it'll work for a while.
i check out the others too.
i kinda realized a little late that when i'm playing all the instruments, it's gotta be planned out or i tend to forget what's exactly where, and hand writing it all is too hard especially when it comes to editing, or adding a staff, forget it.
