Effectively that's true, Matthew, but there are a couple of copyists on the
MAGA (Music Arranger's Guild of Australia) list who use Score. It seemed to
be in vogue in Perth a while ago as well.

contact Julie Simonds at Symphony Australia.

I couldn't agree more. Mind you there are MAGA arrangers who list software
such as Cubase Score and Cakewalk as their working medium, so there is scope
out there for copyists who know the finer points of music engraving.

My copy of Cakewalk Audio Pro gets a fair workout as a (very good)
sequencer, but I can't believe that any musician could accept the very basic
output which it produces. It's not even in the same league as the sort of
work which I used to do by hand, and which was favourably commented upon by
the aforementioned Julie Simonds when she was at the Australian Music
Centre.

As a footnote, I'm pleased to note that Digest #122 is back to its normal
length.

Cheers,
Rudolf van Berkum
