I currently have Notepad and am looking to make an upgrade. I think PrintMusic is what I want, but this is the #1 feature I'm looking for. It isn't mentioned on the product comparison site, so I'm not sure it's in any product. I'm really hoping that PrintMusic lets you do this.

I have a piece that starts out in 4/4 and switches to 6/8 for a section in the middle before returning to 4/4. Can I do this meter change with PrintMusic?

What about key changes, i.e. changes in the key signature? Again, that doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere in the comparison charts that I can find.

Yes, PrintMusic can do time signature changes.
