Could they be leaning more towards the way Sibelius works? There is
no need for screen redrawing or refreshing in that program.
Just thinking our loud.

Or, to look on the positive side, maybe they have deep-sixed all their
old,
slow display methods, and come up with something completely rewritten
that
actually works like a modern application.
In over a decade of using Finale, it has been consistently and
significantly slower to display a screen of information than any other
comparable program. Maybe redraw was needed in 1992, but by mid-decade
they
should have been done with it. It's now nearly the middle of *this*
decade!
