Friends:
This exchange leads me to pose the following questions: DO WE HANG OUT
ON ANY OF FINALE'S "LESSER-KNOWN CORNERS? IF SO, HOW MUCH?
Please consider:
1. The ossia tool
2. The mirror tool
3. The tempo tool
4. The MIDI tool
============
None of the above. MIDI tool on extremely rare occasions.
5. The rhyming dictionary
6. The Band-in-a-Box harmonizer.
The rhyming dictionary, occasionally, but I usually write lyrics with a
pen and paper, and my Merriam-Webster rhyming dictionary, which is
better than Finale's.
The Band in a Box harmoniser, no. It is not very good, especially
compared with my colleague Richard Ferland's Harmonis, which does the
same thing but way better. But I do it even better, so there.
The MIBAC rhythm section generator is reasonably good and useful if you
need playback, but Band In A Box does that so much better it makes me
wonder why they used MIBAC's rhythm section but BIAB's harmoniser?
