This works much better on my system. With the key velocity levels you requested for the Recordare pieces, even a song with just "p" and "f" sounds bad on my system, and anything with "pp" or "ff" is unlistenable. That's on a Mac listening through the Mac's internal speakers. I always assumed it was my system's "fault", but this note makes me wonder. Maybe the levels are bad on other systems, too. I suppose that what matters most to you is the systems of whoever it is that buys the Finale files from your online store. You're assuming that your clientele is likely to have high-quality MIDI playback equipment, perhaps? I really don't know, but it's something to think about if you haven't already. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
