I just received a new catalog from jwpepper in the mail today. It has this bit of notation software that is for BOTH Mac and Windows. So, if Finale is overkill for you, try this.
FINALE-PRINTMUSIC Coda Music Technology $69.95 "Printmusic" is Coda Software's entry level notation progarm. Designed to be easier than ever to use, "Printmusic" is an excellent introduction to the notation world. Provides 16 staves to work with and a number of example files to being working right away. -end quote
