There is a new product from the Finale family that appears to have potential... Finale Printmusic. I've seen it in stores for $59 CDN.

Check it out at... http://www.finalemusic.com/printmusic/default.aspx

I myself have not tested this, but Finale (the heavy duty version) is highly respected for music publishing. This may be an economic alternative for you.

Anybody using this software now??
