No, it was to show Score's superiority. > Here is what I propose, and I hope more people will jump in and make > suggestions on how such could look like. Well, generally I _don't_ like the idea. Any such composition would only reach a small subset of users of a specific program. And an engraver who has a huge set of music fonts (and perhaps also programs like Phontographer) at his/her disposal don't compete on the samed terms as the average user. > b) free part: set pieces can be engraved freely for the best possible look > on page, the only thing that should be set is the total number of measures > on the page.

I like this suggestion, but I would personally like it to be limited to Finale and with a bit stricter rules (such as which fonts that may be used). A competition like "who can make the best engraving with Finale, version 2002" would be a competition that would both inspire and help users, as well as boost the creativity for "home copyist". Perhaps Coda would even be interested...?
