[Windows] I have used the PS export function with great success in the past
and have also used the EPS import function with great success. However,
starting from the moment I needed a custom page size, that is, one that
deviates from the sizes listed in the very short drop-down list on the
Create PS listing dialogue, I have needed to discontinue the use of PS
files, which do not get created with the size values you enter by hand (even
though the program leads you to think they are!).

The answer I got from MakeMusic was that "you can just print directly to
Distiller and get a PDF file any size you want", which indicates that they
have no intent to fix this massive bug.

I suppose MakeMusic considers it much more important to promote people
singing into their computer microphones and editing "with extremely few
clicks!" while spending half a day choosing their favorite "skin" rather
than streamlining and perfecting the very functions which made this program
one of the most successful professional notation platforms available in the
first place.

Long-term success is measured in terms of functionality. Short term success
is measured in terms of style.
