Yes, I usually describe SONAR's notation feature as being optimized for pop
lead sheets. Does a fine job on showing words, chords and melody. It
doesn't allow for some very basic things you'd expect like gathered rests.
That is, a sighted musician would expect to see a passage where he rests for
10 measures notated with a single whole rest with a "10" written with it and
not, as SONAR shows it, 10 consecutive whole rests. Entering things like
dynamics and articulations is problematic too. Our CakeTalking scripts
permit you to enter such information but the print out looks nothing like
what a sighted player would expect or respect. CakeTalking just allows you
to get the information in there so a sighted copyist can clean up your score
in a dedicated music notation program like Sibelius, Finale or Lime.
Caglar, from what I know of your own work, you would definitely just want to
use SONAR to prepare MIDI tracks which can be exported to Sibelius or
another notation program.
