I have used Finale's Smart Score Lite and found it better than I expected. I was scanning in harpsichord music and, in many cases had very few errors. Usually the measures that were wrong were VERY wrong and had to be redone completely with Speedy, but overall this was faster than doing it all in

Indeed, but the Fluff level is pretty extreme this time. Lanch menu? Performance Assessment? Now isn't the latter starting to blur with SmartMusic? I like that you can save Finale pieces to SmartMusic, but.having Finale now acts a scaled down SmartMusic thing is getting a little too fluffy

Hi Neal, Due respect, but your friend is dead wrong. Of course there will be G5 PowerBooks. Steve Jobs had originally said by the end of 2004 but IBM has had a lot of trouble on the manufacturing end, so that's likely no longer in the cards. But there will certainly be G5 PowerBooks
