I wasn't in any way intending to suggest that the Smartscore Lite that comes with Finale is the best. I was just explaining my experience. Also, using PDF-based scanning adds an extra step when you're scanning from hard copy, perhaps not a hard step, but still an extra step. On the other hand, using the non-PDF-based software adds the step of creating graphics from the PDF. That's not a big deal for me with the software I use for editing PDFs, but it would be if you don't already have tools to do that. -- David W.
