Melody Assistant is the smaller sibling of Harmony Assistant.

I found both Melody Assistant and Harmony assistant to work on OS X 10.7.3 (Lion)

I particularly likely the ability to work with a wide range for format with Karaoke MIDI (.kar) and the Virtual Singer (just fun) ... which I did not find in the more expensive alternatives.

The developer has also been responsive and fixed a minor issue with the MusicXML import.

After working with both Melody Assistant and Harmony Assistant, I later opted for the more featured Harmony Assistant.

As if we needed any more reasons not to hate the French.

I never ever bother with shareware programs [money's been tight ever since college], but after trying a demo of Melody Assistant I knew that I had to register to get the full features... it's just that amazing. I had been trying to find an effective and easy-to-use program to write sheet music with for quite some time, and I was absolutely blown away by what Melody had to offer.

That's funny. I never bother with commercial products. They are (almost) all overpriced and rarely responsive to customer needs or complaints. I OWN over 500 apps. Less than 2% are from commercial companies. One more thing; I earn a very comfortable 6 figure income using open source and shareware products.

Near-pro quality at just 15 euros/US$ worth. I also experienced directly a very quick responsiveness by the authors when I had to flag a problem. Great piece of shareware at a more-than-fair price. Kudos to those French guys!

This program is worth every penny/cent/Euro. Like other commentators I have looked at and disregarded commercial rivals but have bought into this. Melody Assistant can do everything I want and more besides. Excellent.
