Sibelius is the notation software that I use for all Curt Sheller Publications.
Having tried to learn Finale when it was Finale 2004. I found the learning curve a little steep. Sibelius was a lot easier to learn and use right out of the box.

Recording and Show Tips
A banjo tip: Many guitar parts call for dixie banjo or uke. I carry a dixie banjo tuned like the top four of a guitar. If you can't or don't, the out-of-phase in-between-pickup strat sound strummed the right way through a very clean amp will knock the socks off the part. - Michael L Kankiewicz (michaelk@buffalo.edu)
One Mic Performance & Recording: using one mic for performance and recording. This a great setup for an acoustic performance. link

One Mic Stand
Here is a link to an article on titled One Mic Stand from musician Del Rey's web site.
Here are links to the microphones mentioned in the article and good for the one mic texhnique:
- Rode NT1-A
- Audio-Technica AT4033 - This is the mic used by the Boulder Acoustic Society
You Control Your Sound
With a single mic setup you are your own sound man. You mix your own sound. You are not at the mercy of some random sound guy not familiar with your music. You simply control your sound by your proximity to the mic on stage. Louder, move in. Quieter, move out.
I saw the Boulder Acoustic Society perform at the the 2007 New York Uke Fest using this set up and the sound was great. The where pros at moving in and out to control the sound.
