I play the tinwhistle (but that’s not really important for my question). I’m trying to find some Windows software that will let me put music notation (dots) on my computer and make changes to the notation if needed. If the software can also transpose from one key to the other, that would be nice (but not required).
Do you know of any software that would meet my needs? If you’ve used the product, what do you think of it? Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give to me.

(This is a generic post so I cross-posted it on the tinwhistle, flute, stringed, ITM and pub forums.)
Take a look at “Band in a Box” (http://www.pgmusic.com/). It does all that, and a whole, whole lot more. I absolutely love the program (and I’ve probably only figured out about 10% of it! )
As well, there is a great site for “Celtic Tunes” where you can download literally 100’s of Band in a Box jigs, reels, hornpipes, etc. It’s found at: http://www.alfwarnock.info/alfs/biab.php
Look at Harmony Assistant (for PC and Mac, I believe) www.myriad-online.com. Indefinite free trial download, and kind of cheap for these kinds of things, if you decide to buy it.
Thanks to both of you for the suggestions. I’m going to look into them over the week end. Everyone on this site is great! I hope to return the favor after I learn a thing or two myself.
It also helps to hear what others think of a product.
