I don't know about "staging", but didn't Daniel Spreadbury work for Sibelius
at one time? To add insult to injury, Lora Creighton is using an ancient
version of Finale--which leads me to wonder what kind of engraving
experience she has. Or any of them, for that matter. The whole thing is just
too amateurish--both in the people selected to use the programs and in the
organization of it--to take seriously.

Best,

Ron

The comparison does make me wonder though: Wouldn't a real comparison 
where experts with each software work by strictly copying one or more 
sources of real published music be long overdue?

Some time ago (years I guess) we had this kind of thread as well, where 
I believe Sibelius staged a kind of competition, but ended up with a 
rather poor result for their own software and quickly withdrew the results.

I don't think cautionary accidentals have anything to do with this, by 
the way.

I'd volunteer to do this kind of competition, if it is limited to no 
more than two or three pages.
