I just tried out the latest release from NtEd team, and I'm impressed. Although it still lacks support for chord symbols (you can put in arbitrary text...but no tab support yet) and a few other things, it is mostly feature complete. I can't believe how rapidly development has proceeded! I'm excited to begin composing in earnest using this tool.
