One of those digital audio apps you dismissed is Performer, which if you recall is also a major MIDI app. (perhaps *the* major MIDI app) for Macs. I think it no coincidence that these programs are lagging behind the curve. Apple has promised impressive built-in features for both MIDI and digitial audio in an unspecified upcoming release of OSX. I believe that rather than rolling their own MIDI and audio drivers, many music programs (esp. those committed heavily to MacOS s.a. Digidesign and MOTU) are waiting for these to be available before releasing OSX-native versions, and I can't say I blame them. Coda delaying Carbon a year may be evidence of a strong commitment to using the new OSX midi features. If so, I'd rather wait. Meanwhile, if Finale runs acceptably in Classic mode, the only thing you're really missing is the transluscent blue aqua buttons. Personally, I don't give a flip about those. Crash recovery and memory management are bigger deals, but Finale is quite well behaved in both those departments. -- Robert Patterson http://RobertGPatterson.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
