Agreed, but while our problem may be short term, it is very real and has real deadlines. Our Freshman class will be arriving in the Fall with OS X computers, they will need to use notation software in Freshman Theory, and it isn't a decision that can be put off. And no, that isn't the only reason my department head is considering switching, although it's the proximate one. Too many students are making too many complaints about not being able to figure out how to use Finale. That's a fairly basic problem.
