However, this is one page of a set, all done in Finale, and the only one
that can't be done easily -- though, as expected, jef had a solution,
albeit a solution from hell, and no harder than what I did in a graphics
program (calculating and entering the radius of each circle, for example).
When this year is over and I've finished all 12 in the set (that was #6), I
may go back and do it in Finale.

I didn't examine the score closely to see that those were placed images
rather than native curved lines. Very interesting observation. Sibelius
loses a point.

And voilà, Sibelius gains a point.

Now if only their files were interchangeable. (Michael Good, how far are
we? Don't answer that!)
