I have used it for years, and I don't think you are missing anything.

With it, you can download music and edit it. You can add lyrics and edit them.

"You can compose your own. All for about $40 - 50, compared to hundreds for other programs.

You do have a MIDI piano keyboard, don't you? You'll need that.

There's one thing it can't do, but I believe there's no program that can do it. No program can 'listen' to you play a tune and then produce the notes for what you just played. That's because computers are too sensitive and they detect every subtle variation of timing. Then they produce a bunch of crazy-looking tied notes and little rests that nobody can figure out.

I'm sure of this. If you wait for the 'perfect program,' you will waste valuable time that could go into making music instead. "


Sibelius can do this, and do it very well too.
