It is pretty nice software, don't get me wrong, but it's not perfect,

and it's very expensive.  It's MIDI import screws stuff up a lot, and

I've had problems writing drum tracks.  There was this one MIDI version

of a Dream Theater song I was using so I could learn the tune for a band

I was in, and Finale didn't play it back correctly (there were some

wierd triplets).  The exact same MIDI file imported into Rosegarden 4

played back with the correct rhythm.
