Well, my point is that while the basic overall layout is matched, the details of the music are not nearly as finished as yours. He didn't even enter the music for the bottom half of the page. What bothers me other than the overall not great look of the music font (and many outstandingly bad details, like the rests I mentioned) is that the spacing of the notes in the flute line is so *bad* -- it's neither metric nor set by the widths of the characters. Any of Finale's default spacing algorithms looks better than that, so it bothers me that two hours of work on the Sibelius page produces such widely varying spacing. It's not that it doesn't replicate yours, but that it isn't internally consistent with itself (which yours actually is, and which Finale would make happen automatically). -- David W.
