I'm not sure G&S is a good comparison for what you're describing. Sullivan always wrote the music to Gilbert's words. Part of the genius of the team is that Sullivan had such a talent for writing music which expressed the text so perfectly. Gilbert may have been a great lyricist, but he gets no credit for setting words to music, because the music was never written first. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
