    It performs the same functions, and has a whole lot more features, but if you enter scores by keyboard or need to edit scores by keyboard and mouse, you'll find it is an awful lot harder to do, far less intuitive, far more complicated.

    It basically does the same thing. Plus has a sequencer to play the score.
