In my case, many people would say the notes I didn't play were more

I write and arrange MUCH better using Finale instead of paper and
pencil. I guess my inner ear is just not advanced enough to be able
to write and know exactly how something will sound, so I rely on
Finale playback to test my theories.

Jari's plugins do not appear to work with Finale 2007 (Windows XP). The
system divider plugin misplaces the dividers, and the space systems plugin
crashes the program.

MIDI files leave out most notation information, so the interpretation
of MIDI files to produce good notation is quite an art form. Finale
does well with the basic cases, but as the files get more complicated,
