PrintMusic 2004 review:4 stars (Human Playback Glitchy At Times) - For the price, the product is very good; however, the main reason I bought it was due to its Human Playback feature, which for the most part works very well but occasionally "wobbles" or makes "static"-like noises. The HP.dll file was updated in the Finale 2005 product, but this update-file is not compatible with PrintMusic! 2004. I'm still awaiting word from customer support regarding any possible HP.dll updates for PrintMusic! 2004.5 stars (Great Product for "click" entry!) - For the price you pay, you really get an outstanding program. Upon getting it, I dove straight into the most complicated stuff I could possibly think of composing, and it assisted me through it all beautifully and simply. (I had no need for the scanning or MIDI features, so I have no comment on those - the "click" entry is that of which I speak.) Once you devote a little time and figure out how it works, you'll have no problem with it. (A book over a hundred pages in length accompanies the program). This product is perfect for any non-professional composer who is looking for a sound program whose price isn't outrageous.
