It's not just the dynamic parts.  Going through Sib 4, I'm finding
lots of nice, little features Finale would do well to implement:

• Translucent palettes (or "tool windows" as Sibelius calls them)

What use is there for this? Just to make it more Mac-like?

I use transparent windows all the time (see my other reply on this).
Nothing to do with Macs, just a different way of using a GUI.  It
should be minimal work to make such an option available.


Well, on the Mac, yes, as it's part of the basic Quartz architecture.

I thought Windows wasn't getting the useless transparent dialogs until Avalon, with the release of Longhorn.



No, on XP. I mentioned it earlier, but it's so useful I'll do so again: Power Menuy, http://www.veridicus.com/tummy/programming/powermenu/, puts transparency options into the context menus of (almost) any window.
