There's a huge difference. One is creating every conceivable block in advance, to ensure that every ligature can be preserved. The more practical situation is making a smaller set of blocks which enables the printing of some common ligatures, at the expense of others. Does Finale ship with fonts which cover every possible detail of musical notation? ;) _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
