The whole issue of backup is already a nightmare, enough of one that even the New York Times covered it last week. Even if your backups are fine, you'll have to take on continuous updating -- the museum archiving scenario -- because otherwise, someday and probably sooner than you think, the hardware or software will no longer be there to read the old files or formats. At least Finale users are mostly concerned (at least today) with paper results, and that can form the archive. I think I mentioned this before, but I wrote a scary essay about this two years or so ago, mostly aimed at electroacoustic composers whose work is intimately bound up with media, software and hardware... http://maltedmedia.com/books/papers/sl-archv.html ....and last year, the question of corporate intervention in the process... http://maltedmedia.com/books/papers/sm-copyp.html Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
