Exactly! Well except I'm not a composer, but it's the same situation. These baroque pieces I'm working on, I asked piano players to give a run through for me, because I wanted to hear something I had labored on for days upond days with pencil and paper. The music was too complex for them. Finale / Sibelius gives me the chance to hear the music in a way that was NOT possible. It's opened doors in such a big way for me. I could never be doing my research if not for the PC. Thanks for your thoughts Ray!
