Music Notation Software
Recently I had to switch music notation software because the product I had be using, iMakeSheet Music 3.0 by MidiSoft, has gone out of business and the program is no longer made or supported.  But I was encouraged to find a couple of easy to use, and inexpensive programs that work just fine for what I do.
 
1. NoteWorthy   www.noteworthysoftware.com
 
2. Musette is a very simple program and it's free!  It doesn't do everything, but it will let you input a song, then transpose it, and print it.  See:   www.musettemusic.com
