No, it can't be assumed. You'd need a laborious tally of the use of ligatures. It *has* been done for Petrucci prints, and he only had a dozen or so special ligature blocks. Do the exponential calculations of how many different pieces would be needed to cover every possibility, and still tell me it may be assumed that they all existed! _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
