Finale Notepad does have some pretty severe limitations (or at least did) compared to the full version, like the inability to notate modulation or time signature changes. However, its greatest current limitation may be that the new version of Notepad is no longer free. You can download it for US$9.95 or order it on CD for US$19.95.
