I quickly cheked the feature list for Non-DAW on their website.

Although the feature you described is listed, it doesn't really say if it

eases the composition part. It looks to me like you need to have a clear

idea of the song structure.

What if you would like to try out different arrangements quickly - can you

confirm or infirm if that is the case?
