I have been using Finale since 2005 and despite the many improvements, I still don't believe the percussion notation is even close to as simple and customizable as it should be. There should be a way to create a customized percussion stave in five lines with legend and be able to enter notes in speedy entry with out having to worry about setting up playback. If I want to put woodblocks on a specific staff line and have that correspond to a note on my midi keyboard it should be an easy one or two step process.
