Which I think pretty much sums it up. There is no objective way to compare notation software as such. We all know that certain things the software does not support can be achieved using work arounds (ie clef after barline at the beginning of a system, ie after key sig - not supported by Finale, but still possible). Other things that are supported don't work properly. A feature comparison will not bring us any further either. So in the end the hope is to get some real experts for each piece of software. The more I think about it the more important I think the "problem sheet" is going to be, and I am hoping the participants are going to be honest about it. I think what is going to happen is this: we will have a "winner", which is a person, and this will not necessarily say much about the software. At the same time I want a result on the software, partly judged on the output produced and partly judged on the problem reports. In know this cannot be completely objective.
