No slight intended! I do 19th century notation as well, and have a small bunch of customers for score prep, from older notation through stuff Finale can't do at all. My point was only that I can't come close to working fluidly with the hodgepodge of applications required to do a wide range of work. For example, if Sonar can be video aware (i.e., it doesn't do video, but can synchronize to it and display it), Finale should be audio-aware (sync to and display audio waveforms), but it isn't. Why in the world should I have to do screen captures to create a synchronized score for electroacoustics? It's crazy. Here's what I mean about stuff you can't sync except via screen capture: http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/bales.pdf http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/callme.pdf Dennis -- Please participate in my latest project: http://maltedmedia.com/waam/ My blog: http://maltedmedia.com/bathory/waam-blog.html _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
