It worked okay for the notes but I lost the expressions etc. Ended up that I used the un-edited parts that I marked manually and spoke to the players about. Fortunately it was a simple enough error (extra measure in the horn parts) and the performance went well.
My upgrade to 2005 should be on my doorstep when I get home <LOL>. That leads me to ask why Make Music doe not provide an upgrade path online where we could download the software. Or do they already provide that and I just could not find it on the site ?
