These are all generalizations, hypotheticals. different issues may arise depending on his level of computer experience, potential knowledge of, and therefore confusion with, other notation apps' methodology, reluctance to read the MuseScore manual, etc. Hand him a laptop with MuseScore installed - yikes!.
