Yeah, the problem with those music fonts is placement -- horizontally and
vertically. It would be excruciating to diddle that into place in Word for
all but the simplest of examples. And then you'd insert a paragraph and Word
would re-flow the document, splitting your example across pages. wild

Best to stick with a music notation package when the goal is notation. And
if it's a one-off, pay someone to do it.

NB Finale comes with a bunch of fonts with all the symbols you'd ever

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.
