While a wholeheartedly support the basic thrust of your argument, I'd say your choice of example is poor -- word processor data is nowhere near as complex as Finale data. A more correct example would be a database program, where the data is stored in related tables and you can create report layouts independent of the data that display whatever subsets of data you want, with each report layout having its own independent layout characteristics. -- David W.
