Yeah, Finale has a whole range of products from free to $500. Notepad is 
free, then there is one that is lik $50 then $100 then $200 then $500. The lower 
priced versions are definitely a good deal. I just found that they left out 
some very important little details - even for making a simple piece. Also they 
are not all built on the same version of Finale - some on Finale 2007 or 2008 or 
2009 so you can't necessarily open the files from one to another even 
downgrading. I just have some songs with a vocal staff and maybe a piano and 
sometimes a bass staff and want a tempo, chords, and lyrics. (I never found a way to 
spit two notes that it beamed as a chord when they were sequential melody notes 
though). Finale of all varieties is not that easy to learn but I learned 
enough to do make some lead sheets, but it just seemed more hassle than it should 
be.

But maybe someone else would be well served by their lower priced products. 
You can download Notepad for free.
