The lengthy thread about freaking lyrics leads me to make an nomination for the biggest shortcoming (bar NONE) of Finale:
THE DOCUMENTATION! I have no problem with Coda (or any other software developer, for that matter) writing their software in any way they wish. I do think that how the software works should be well defined in the documentation, so that a user can see how to accomplish things like moving music without moving the lyrics. It is a demonstrable fact that the lyrics tool works differently if one edits existing text via "type into score" than if one edits existing text with the "edit lyrics" option of the menu. I think I understand why this is so, whether it should be so is another question altogether, but, IMO, there is absolutely no excuse for the fact that the differences in the results of the editing methods are not mentioned in the documentation! ns _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
