It seems like all versions of Finale have demo versions you can try out, except Allegro. Is that accurate, or am I just missing it somewhere?
Also: does anyone know why Finale and PrintMusic support VST/AU instruments and effects, but Allegro doesn't?
Thanks.
Demo version of Allegro? And why no VST?

It is because the demo of Allegro is from 2007. There are no plans for MakeMusic to update Allegro. I has been abandoned as a product. PrintMusic has come a long way. You should probably try that unless you can afford the full Finale. Some people, however, are upset that the 2011 version of PrintMusic doesn't do a couple of things that they could manage to get PrintMusic 2010 to do.

Thanks Warren, I appreciate the info.
It looks like it's going to be PrintMusic then, until I can afford Finale.
By the way, I notice you use Garritan Personal Orchestra--do you happen to know if that programs works with PrintMusic? I know it works for Finale, and the VST capability of PM makes me think it will work there as well, but I'm not sure.
Thanks.

I believe that it does, although I don't use PrintMusic, so I can't say for sure.
