If I was starting out and needed notation program Dorico seems to be the way to go. I have used Finale on and off for over 20 years that for my needs it isn't worth learning a new notation program.
In High School some one used a drumsticks on the bassdrum and rip it went. Band teacher had him paint the school mascot back on the new skin. Funny thing is this kid drew a better looking mascot then the one before on the drum.

Of course it shall be all about A minor which could get you in trouble with the law ?
