Well, all I can tell folks are the things that seem important to me. I’ve seen the other “handwritten” fonts, and I see attractive aspects to many of the symbols, but my mind rebels agains any computer imitation of handwriting. It knows full well all the symbols are identical and done by a machine, so what’s the point of pretending they’re not?
So — I’m happy enough with Maestro and Engraver and Bill’s extras, and grateful for how much Bill did for the look of my music. Grateful to Jari Williamson too! And I too think I paid too much for what isn’t much of an improvement over Finale 25. Chuck > On Oct 12, 2018, at 8:32 PM, Girard Bowe <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks, Chuck - you're right.
