VBRhapsody is Freeware; that is to say, the downloaded version is fully functional and you may use it for your own personal use without restriction and without payment. The author however, retains the copyright and you may not modify the program or use it for commercial purposes without the express permission of the author.
Having said that, I believe that there are a large number of people out there who would benefit from having access to this program but in order to reach this public, some form of advertising is required - and advertising costs money. It is for this reason, therefore, that you are strongly encouraged to register your support by sending the author a suggested donation of £15.00. The unregistered version of the program is restricted to printing the first two pages of a score only. Registration remains free, however - donations are not compulsory!

But you won't find a better Notation Editor!
