Do you even notate?

Today we discussed notation programs in great detail and I found out that my teacher Mr Humberstone was a Level 4 Technology Wizard who had been a Sibelius programmer for many years. We discussed programs like Noteflight, Flat io, Doric, Sibelius, Finale and Musescore with focus on their unique features, subtle nuances and ideal uses for them. I did a product test of Flat io which I thought was well designed for a school setting as it had all the necessary features a school student would need. I like it better than Noteflight as it had a ‘fixed’ ribbon system at the top whereas Noteflight could change based on what had been pressed; this was a cause of great annoyance when teaching a class on prac (the memory still haunts me). However, Noteflight did have a cool feature where you could upload a score to its database and if it had not been done before, it would become part of its catalogue ANDDDD when people downloaded it you would get paid royalties. A cool feature of Flat io was an export video option that could be played along with an online novel and also a mini screenshot option that was way quicker and simpler to use. As a notation program to be used in a classroom setting I give Flat io 4 rubber chickens out of 5. Flat io product test below.
