Noteworthy will actually run quite happily off a USB flash drive  <snip>  Anyhow, this makes it possible to run Noteworthy on the school computers without actually installing anything. Of course, the school may not want you to do this, but it is a possibility that you might get permission to run noteworthy in this manner.
That's really useful, Globbilink.  Thank you very much.  I would never have thought of that.   Unfortunately, however, the school does not allow any removable media to be inserted into their computers.     But, I may well use that tip when on another computer myself.  Many thanks.

Thank you very much Bill for such a detailed reply.  It is all very helpful.

So my advice would be to try the <Photoscore Pro> route if your daughter's school happens to have the <Pro> version with Sibelius. 
I will enquire tomorrow.

Incidentally in passing I think lots of schools are doing a disservice to their students in pushing the use of Sibelius at enormous cost, when virtually everything they do with it could be done with Noteworthy Composer at a tenth of the cost (in Australia anyway), and with a fraction of the hastle and angst!  To me Sibelius is a huge pain in the Butt!
Couldn't agree with you more.  We are considering getting a 2nd hand laptop for my daughter.  So I looked into buying Sibelius for her, just for the ease of working on school pieces.  But I was absolutely horrified at the cost.  Here in Scotland it would be even more than 10 times the cost of Noteworthy Composer.  So it'll be a extra copy of Noteworthy Composer that we'll be ordering, and certainly not the S program.

Thank you everyone very much for all your comments and suggestions.  They are all very much appreciated.

it's my guess that they'll need to be able to edit it at school.  In addition, many schools don't like "unauthorised" software being loaded on their machines.  In most cases, system security prevents users installing anything.
Lawrie is quite correct,  my daughter needs to be able to continue editing the music at school.  Usually all the major writing/editing is done at school.  Any small amendments/additions, that she thinks of at home, are scribbled on MS paper in pencil and then entered up onto Sibelius when she is back at school.  Unfortunately, she has been unable to get to school sometimes recently because of the bad weather. (Getting to school involves a ferry journey.)  She was wanting to work on her composition while stuck at home, and was feeling frustrated that she wouldn't have much time to enter it onto Sibelius back at school, as she would be trying to catch up on the lessons that she had missed.

My daughter uses Sibelius at school, but we use NoteWorthy Composer at home.  Does anyone know of any way of converting NoteWorthy files so that they can be read on Sibelius?
