I got the Pivot software to work on my 1920x1200 monitor. It required a 
ResEdit hack of the driver. I'll be interested to see what the Portrait 
tech support tells me. I still have a problem in that the 1920x1200 
monitor only works if the other monitor is not attached to the video 
card. :-(

But I *was* able to run a quick test with Finale. It is FANTASTIC. The 
LCD monitor is so clean that I can easily read and edit at 75% (scroll) 
view, and in portrait mode, I can see an entire orchestra score at this 
size without scrolling, with room to spare for divisis. If I eliminate 
some of the bizarro staves, like 3 saxophones and alto flute, I might be 
able to get it up near 100%. But on an LCD, 75% is quite tolerable. 
(This from a guy who could not work at less than 150%--preferably 
200%--on a CRT.)

The Finale window expands to the entire 1200x1920 screen so no problem 
there.

BTW: I was reading thru some earlier email I got from Portrait tech 
support. They had a big disclaimer about Powerbooks. If Matthew Hindson 
is thinking about using it with a Powerbook, he should probably contact 
their tech support first.
