Sibelius, PrintMusic, etc.

I want to get a program to print my music and burn synthesized CDs etc. Sibelius is obviously the best, but it's $400 or worse. I did see a Student Version of Sibelius - what's it like? What does it and doesn't it include? At $99, I'd say it doesn't include much. Also, there's PrintMusic. Anyone have that? What's it like?
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

While I know that you can't burn synthesized music with this program, you can download a smaller version of Finale from the following site to print out your music for free.

I know it's not what you asked for, but I thought maybe it would help.

I have PrintMusic and it works wonderfully. Much easier, and cheaper, than Sibelius. You can save things as audio files. Don't let PrintMusic's playback discourage you. It may sound bad, but when you convert it to an MP3 (when you save it as an audio file) it'll sound much more realistic.

I also have PrintMusic, and it does work really well. Its not that expensive either, only about $70.

Thanks to all. I'll check out that free finale thing, Shay, the other free download demos all seem to block the printing feature, (sibelius, music publisher, etc.). Thanks again.
