I started on Composer's Mosaic, then went to Finale when MOTU dropped all support. And am fighting Notion on my iPad--very VERY twitchy app. I've wasted more time fighting it than arranging the song. Very irritating when your tool doesn't work right. But when it isn't being so twitchy it's actually rather nice.

Out of curiosity, have you posted any flute quartets on MuseScore?

I was curious because I just waded through all 27-some pages of "flute quartets" a week ago. Most of which weren't flute quartets but woodwind quartets, or flute quintets, or flute quartets plus a trumpet and trombone (neither of which match my definition of "quartet" but whatever). I wondered if the few I found that weren't game-related might be any of yours.

Happily there was a boatload more sax quartets (although again, some songs seem to have a rather loose definition of both "sax" and "quartet") that I downloaded.
