Overall I thought this was an interesting activity. I am a Sibelius 6 user and found the interface straight forward but slightly bulky to work with. The use of the keyboard to step edit notes was faster than the mouse, but I still prefer Sibelius. I tried to import a midi file into this notation software and was not 100% happy with the results. A piano part was condensed into one staff and I was unable to find a way to alter this setting. I would guess that it is possible, but I was unable to locate it quickly.
This software, although not my favorite notation solution, does have some educational uses. Being able to have a class work online at school and at home is extremely valuable. The fact that there is no software to install is also a strong point. Embedded examples could also be useful for student assignments, examples, or even practice. Because of the affordability and the easy access this software offers, it could be useful to my students.
