My Jr. High band director used that. I saw a copy at Half Priced Books the

Alpha Four (Five?) database of all the music in the band library. Back then
I spent many an hour volunteering in the band hall.
But I have very fond memories of Tandy's Deskmate "Sound" and
"Music"
programs. I loved to play with those. Was so happy my parents spent the
extra money and got the (then) top of the line SL/2, which was one of the
ones that had the Sound and Music programs. Ah, simpler times...

Yup. I wrote and published music for my grade school and high school bands
using a 486, WfW 3.11, and a program called Finale. Even then, Finale was
industrial strength. It handled everything from regular ol' clarinet or
trumpet music to drum parts to guitar tablature.
