Default How do I insert music notes in stave in Word?

NB Finale comes with a bunch of fonts with all the symbols you'd ever
need, in different styles -- engraved, handwritten, etc. Presumably
Sibelius does, too.

There used to be an Adobe PostScript font (does Adobe still sell
fonts?) of music symbols -- I think it was called Carta.

Sibelius, mentioned elsewhere, does indeed have a student/teacher version,
but the only thing limited about it is the price. Even at that, it's a
considerable expense.

Finale has a product called "NotePad" that costs $19.95. When I tried it a
few years ago, I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Music notation programs
are much like high-end graphics programs. You have to spend a large chunk of
time getting to know them. (I think the Sibelius learning curve is the
easiest.)

And, of course, if you're dealing with an already printed sheet of music
your best bet is to scan it as an image.
