Notation Software Survey

This is a report of the results from a survey of 4-year college-level music programs in the United States. The outcome is a "snapshot" of the utilization, in academia, of music notation software applications and the computer platforms used to run them. The survey was conducted during the summer months of 2005 by Scott Fessler, Associate Professor in the Composition Department of the Berklee College of Music.
