Version: Melody Assistant 7.0.2
"HIGHLY recommended! sequencer with old-school interface"
Pros: Compose music the old-fashioned way by dropping notes on a staff. Edit the score, right down to aspects of the individual note. Exports to midi, wav and other formats. Apply effects to the score or individual instruments. Allows you to create your own instruments from sound files. Well worth $20!
Cons: The included instrument base is poor and the intermediate one from their website isn't much better. No way to easily drop chords on the screen - have to do it a note at a time or use a keyboard.

Version: Melody Assistant 7.0.2
Pros: Reasonably easy to use.
Cons: Icons are too small and interface seems to be packed with too many items.
Sound quality is not that flash.

Version: Melody Assistant 7.0.2
"Awesome sequencer for making sick electronic music"
Pros: Combine this program with a good sample library and you can make some sick beats, due to the many ways you can present an instrument or sample. Lots of built-in effects, and easy import and export for each layer so you can use other software to create samples and sample sequences (audiomulch?)

Version: Melody Assistant 7.0.2
Pros: This software does so much. I use it to play around with midi files, look at the scores, change instruments, etc. I almost never buy software, but I forked out 20 bucks for this (though I think it works ok for free). Just the sound bank is great, much better than the standard MIDI that comes on my PC (Vista). I've had good support from the company and the forums.
Cons: The user interface is a bit confusing. There's a definite learning curve. Lots of powerful functions aren't so easy to discover. The tutorials help.

Version: Melody Assistant 7.0.2
Pros: This is a good piece of software. I've owned it for several years and use it for all my composition. It's easy to use and EXTREMELY CHEAP as far as music notation software goes (and there's a completely free version available, just with fewer functions and a maximum number of notes). It has many, many features, some of which very few people will ever use. The sound database for playback is ok, and you can purchase better from the website, which also features some forums and good support from a helpful staff.
Cons: The music can skip a little if you put in a lot of staves (i.e. an orchestral score or larger), and in the few years I've owned Melody Assistant it's crashed four times, each time requiring a complete restoration of the software and a hassle for yours truly. Each version becomes better with both of these things, though, as is to be expected.
