Well, he wasn't addressing whether it was good or not (it obviously isn't). He was just showing that your assertion of fact was COMPLETELY MISTAKEN. > When you look at a pan pot on a real-life mixing board, is it labeled > with MIDI numbers? I've never sat at a mixing board, and don't anticipate ever doing so, so the way one is labelled is really pretty much irrelevant to me as a user of notation software. My guess is that the vast majority of Finale users have never sat at a mixing board, and never will, so it's a peculiarly unlikely choice for UI models. -- David W.
