I was talking about engraving music. Sometimes I call it music typesetting. If you were inclined in the area I suggest that you would have noticed how most people format their email and quote replies on this list and adjusted your posts to the norm accordingly. That's because people inclined towards high test engraving notice these details *everywhere*. So I conclude that because such factors are not already within your purview, it would be an uphill battle for you to compete with folks who came to the profession because that's what they already *knew* before they ever had a music application. That's why folks on this list can get real hot and bothered about a freakin' 2 or 3 EVPU displacement of some elements in their printouts. It's because their heart is in the perception of those kinds of details...
