A constant assumtion on this group seems to be that professional engravers are the main source of income for the Finale product line? > The down side to this, if I am correct, is that the more a bug affects > creation of a smartmusic accompaniment (which I suspect is related to > human playback) the higher priority it will receive, and issues like EPS > generation for Windows, which affects playback not in the least, will > have a lower priority. HP has nothing to do with the SmartMusic product AFAIK. HP is a playback solution to get "proper" playback of the printed score without the need to have to tweak settings within the document and/or to run plug-ins. Personally I think the priorities at MM are very much based on noise level - I believe MacOSX users have been much more active in getting working EPS than Win users, perhaps since it's more people who need it there? [Another "problem" with the Win EPS support is that apparently some people actually get it to work, like Benjamin.] Best regards, Jari Williamsson _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
