Yes, well it's more complex than that, more on the order of "character 82 1024 evpu's from the beginning

.4376 inches below the bottom of the staff". Some elements, like the characters in the fonts used are 
incorporated by reference, other items, like the distance of the character from the frame, are directly in 
the file, and I am of the opinion that the Supreme court having decided that the description of a single 
character is a "computer program", that lower courts would likely rule by extension, that a Finale 
file is a "computer program" too.

Well, they are. I honestly cannot see the basic difference between a data file like a Finale file and a Visual Basic data file. In fact, Word files may even contain Visual Basic data.
