I only know HP from the Finale 2005 demo, but I was quite easily able to tell HP to incorporate all performance data into the file. However, I did eventually turn of HP's adjustments to note durations, as it was just too awful. Here's two examples: 1. the non-legato for non-slurred notes was much too short, more like a portato. 2. it can't deal properly with stacatto notes under a slur, having only one way to play slurred notes (the last note of the slur shortened, the previous notes of the slur lengthened). I really did like the implementation of meter-based accentuation, and overall found it pretty impressive. I just wish it were possible to turn off particular parameters. Does anyone know if MakeMusic is intending to provide finer control over HP parameters than one finds in Finale 2005? And, ACK, why does everything have REVERB turned up so high? Reverb doesn't improve synthesized sound at all -- just makes it harder to hear! I quickly adjusted that to turn it off! -- David W.
