Top Ten Reviews (TTP) published a test report about the "Best Music Notation Software of 2018" in February. Notation Composer is ranked on the last position to be the
worst software (overall value 4.65 out of 10) with a significant distance to the next higher ranked software (9.2). Please see the ranking and the complete test report
here. Please also see how TTP made their tests and what criteria TTP applied for their ranking.
Their ranking is based on
Notation Composer 2.6.1 which was released ~10 years ago. TTP did not even updated the screen shots completely (please see below). Given all the work which we have done in the past years including the last version 3.1.0, it is very frustrating seeing such a judgement based on version 2.6.1 distributed by TTP all over the world due to their high ranking in Google.
Today anybody can post whatever is possible, but we as Notation Software will not tolerate that somebody distributes such a ranking based on an article which is copied/pasted from the past of a product which was launched 10 years ago, and says it is a brand new test report.
However, on the other hand "marketing wise" it is sometimes better to have the worst ranking which is obviously wrong than being ranked somewhere in the middle of nowhere. And, the 10 years old Notation Composer 2.6.1 still made it to a 4.65.
