Thanks Laura. I should have been a little more clear in what I said. I was
thinking specifically of the quality of the output on features that are
supported by abc rather than features that aren't available. I don't know
if this is what Frank Nordberg was thinking of.
Things like slurs are incredibly difficult to get right in all situations
and I was wondering if a program like Finale would do a better job with
them than some of the abc software.
