Re: [Finale] Spiral binding
Reasonably priced is rather subjective. But for my money, I've used the CoilMac for several years. Best $$$ I've spent in a long time.

Re: [Finale] Spiral binding
Comb binders work, but I find coil binding to work better for my needs. The whole coil needs to be removed and replaced when one or more pages is changed/replaced, but the smoother page turns and relative freedom from tearing make it worth it for me. That said, I wonder if the investment in the binding machine (and the space it takes in my studio) was the wisest decision. It does save trips to Kinkos and the fees they charge, but then I have to keep cover stock and a supply of coils.

This is what I like about the CoilMac machine. It has an open throat design that allows you to bind larger than letter. I do 11x17 all the time. That's why I bought it. But it's not inexpensive.

Re: [Finale] OT: Opposite of 'doppio movimento'
At 1:43 PM -0500 2/18/10, Aaron Sherber wrote: Hi all, I'm having a brain cramp. Is there an Italian term which means the opposite of 'doppio movimento'? That is, for a passage in which the quarter note moves at the same speed as the preceding half note? The opposite of double time is half time, but I'm not sure what that is in Italian. Medio means middle, so that doesn't sound right. And demi is French, not Italian. OK, just realized that I had an Italian-English dictionary on the shelf. Half has a bunch of cognates, as I would have suspected: metà, mezzo (or mezza), semi. Looks like metà is the choice in many situations. The problem, of course, is that even if it's correct, musicians won't know what it means! John -- John R. Howell, Assoc.

Re: [Finale] Spiral binding
I hear you, Chuck, but for me it was a no-brainer. Ten kilometres to the nearest copy shop was a huge drag. I got the coil mac from Nick and it has been great. It was the second best purchase I ever made, after a laser printer. Coils are far superior to combs for noise, robustness and stackability, in my opinion. They also don't let the pages tear as easily.

And I've never had a page come loose, though very occasionally one of the punches on the top or bottom will rip. I sometimes do find when I get a set of parts back that a few of the combs have gotten squashed or otherwise broken, but they're so inexpensive, and it's easy to pull off the old comb and slap on a new one.
