Yes, Professional Composer is only for writing manuscripts out, but that is actually all I need music notation for. I don't have any MIDI instruments.
My Composer is 2.1 from 1987, a single 800K disk, and does not have any playback built in. (That's what my upright piano is for!) And yes, the disk is copy-protected. It requires the insertion of the original every time it is run. I always keep my master next to my Plus so I can stick it in whenever necessary.
What I like about Professional Composer is the fact that it can easily create a SATB chorus score with great ease.
