Oh come on, composers routinely use software that barely offers them any control at all over what kind of sound they get for a given part. I haven't played with any of it extensively, but the demo files out of the box for both Sibelius and Finale sound like complete crap. Think back to William, who never wanted any of the control we forced him to suffer through, and just wanted us to play any lame trumpet when he wrote a part for a trumpet. That's what mScore does too. They have a hard coded built-in FluidSynth, and offer users no control at all. (If they have any users, but that's beside the point.) > > do.

If I'm not much mistaken, that refers to being able to separate the master orchestral score out into individual parts for the various players involved. I could be mistaken. I wouldn't know, since that feature is busted in the demo version. -- D.
