When Igor came out it was entirely different. New features in fairly recent versions of Finale and Sibelius were present at the start of Igor more than a decade ahead of its time. Can you explain more the direction you're thinking? Modeless operation; ability to easily enter dynamics, slurs, markings, hairpins during note entry; ability to grab anything and move it, linked parts where it was stupidly simple to unlink (or relink) any element - these put Igor way ahead of even the current curve. I know Finale and Sibelius pretty well and beta-tested Notion. Igor was an entirely different beast for pro copying than any of them.
So.. what are you thinking? (Asked with great interest because your plugs go a long way in turning Finale into something!) Steve P.
