So you're saying that it's better to have an incomplete program that
lacks important functions, and to have those functions provided by
3rd party add-ons?
Hmmm. The trouble is, you might be right!!!
(And in case anyone wonders, yes, Sibelius has a raft of 3rd-part
plugins, too. The difference seems to be that while they can be very
handy, they aren't absolutely essential to the normal use of the
program.)
