Have you looked at "Eja Mater awful Finale.pdf"? Do you consider the issues marked in red minor? They actually make it very difficult to sing the rhythm correctly! > If you want a real comparison, give two expert users -- one of Finale, one > of Lilypond -- the same score and give them an hour to engrave as much as > they can, with the goal that every single bar they engrave is perfect. Then > compare what they achieve. Do you have a spare expert Finale user? Because the problem is that on the *LilyPond* mailing list it's hard to find expert Finale users. We'd have to hire someone, and that costs money.
