I've just been trying a browser app, noteflight.com, and I'm very impressed. You need to use a mouse or a midi keyboard, but the program works very well, and it's free for up to 10 scores (scores are stored on their web site). The printed output looks very professional, and the app has many, many options. I haven't used Finale for a few years, but this program seems to operate better and easier. You can get unlimited scores and a few more (unneeded) options by paying a monthly fee.
