No sane person would ever want to run Finale as a part of a web server setup. I was referring to the Finale Viewer plug-in (and to the even more tacky Scorch plug-in Sibelius is trying to foist onto an unsuspecting world). They both do have a transpose function. But, as I said, there are plenty of *other* reasons why nobody should use the web publishing features both Sibelius and Finale brag so much about. Come to think of it, the transposition function might be the only marginally sensible feature those two formats have. John Chambers wrote: > > Hey, cool! Which program did those?

Errr, John, I posted those two files at abcusers almost a year ago (July 18th 2001 I think), so they shouldn't be new to you. The files were made by Finale 2001, but even Finale 2.6 (the oldest version I've used - back in '91) would have managed this particular job just as well. > > One minor quibble is that I'd put key sig's sharp on the F > space rather than the f line.

It's just that your abc file didn't say anything about that, so I had to guess. > > I'd guess that there are "professional" music packages that > can do non-classical music, ... I've been using Finale for more than ten years now, and you wouldn't believe how many strange kinds of music notation I've had to do! I've yet to come across anything Finale can't handle in one way or another. I don't want to write neumes in Finale, though. It is possible, but it's much easier in BarFly.
