Dear Alain, I appreciate you work much, but I would do much more... if you had a mac version some time, too ;-)
After having a look at your PDF with Siena_155, let me ask you one thing. Having a piece of 51 bars isn't it possible in Django to fit it on three pages, and not on three plus one system? That's something I see on most of the pages set in tablature processing programs nowadays, sometimes it's even one bar hanging on an extra page (and an empty rest of the staff)... Or is it unimportant to most users? I'm sorry if the answer is obvious to experienced windowsers, but I'm behaved to a different music software and different page layout philosophy. It may be, however, that you convince me somehow and I may consider buying a PC, who knows...
