Best Score Editor

[gracejames]

I'm a bit behind..
Is Logic still considered the best score editor/midi software package?
How about Sonar? I didn't see any of their score features on their site.
Saw, DP, etc?

If it's just scoring you're after then I can highly recommend Sibelius. If you want an integrated solution then I would wait it out and see how Avid decides to integrate Sibelius into Pro Tools.

james...
powertracks that i use has a slew of notation and midi features.
but pc only. i dont know if it will fulfill every need, but mebe try the demo.
very inexpensive (pgmusic.com for demo.).
also has an event editor/piano roll , smpte sync....
heres some other of the myriad features.
1. after recording a midi trak u can create an audio trak automatically.
2. high ppqn support.
3. fretboard n piano displays. fretboard displays are usefull for bass n guitar traks.
theres also a midi guitar clean up dialog.
4. a drum grid editor....for creating drum midi traks.
5. midi channel filtering n rechanneling.
6. identifying chords from imported midi files.
n ive just scratched the surface frankly of its capabilities.
if i remember it will also do lead sheets and even print blank staff paper.
just a ton of stuff...so i suggest u chek it out a little.
i dont have time to go into every feature.
oh tempo mapping also.

i use Mac so looks like either Logic or PT/Sibelius.
I'm waiting on Logic 8 to see how that will go. Even in
Logic Express, i like the integration. I don't do overly
complex scores. I may not not upgrade to 003 either so
that is my situation. thanks.
