I'm a hobbyist who has been an occasional user for many years. I finally decided to purchase PrintMusic only to find that it's been eliminated for mac users. As I said, I'm not a professional, and dropping $600 on a piece of software simply isn't something I can manage at this time (at least if I'm interested in maintaining marital bliss). Sure, there are other options out there, but they're all pretty clunky. MuseScore? Lily Pond? Sibelius? Yuck.
It turns out that Sibelius offers monthly subscriptions to both their flagship software (~$25/month) and their "lite" version (<$10/month). As much as I'd like to stick with Finale, it's looking like I'll have to switch. Now, if there were a monthly subscription, available, you can bet I'd jump in. Based on most of my other online subscriptions, it's also likely that I'd let it ride indefinitely. I actually don't remember the last time I looked at Angie's List or Consumer Reports...
