I show my plebian side, as an ex-hockey player from the days before Zamboni I find a Zamboni to be a modern invention that saves the players having to come out and shovel the ice between periods. Wish we had one in my day. Best, Jon To get on or off this list see list information at

Donatella and Alain, I have a small nit to pick, as a former programmer who is an Ivy League graduate - and hopefully not dull. The Ivy League isn't the genesis of programmers who don't know the application (Gates dropped out). Nor is it really the home of techies. It is more likely that the

Dear Alain and others, being a programmer by myself I highly appreciate the work and effort put in programs like Django or Fronimo. I would call both of them professional products which during the time I followed their development moved far above the initial purpose to simply enter

On the other hand, we mustn't forget that some artists at some periods used curved mirrors and the camera obscura to paint something that was very much like a photograph, although certainly not a snapshot. Ed, this theory is already being debunked at the highest level. It is so full of holes

Thomas, Yes. Opinions of the suitability (let alone quality) of one program over the other are all relative. If you read postings to the Score list, you will see that the really professional engravers would not touch Finale with a barge pole. They use Score instead. Also, there a publishers

My main point here is that in enriching the software and building more flexibility, the quality of the dialog with the users is really quite important. The fact that you are available to the end user is a wonderful thing and a selling point. Some software has NO support other than a FAQ at the

I am now using Django on behalf of Matthew Wadsworth (see below). I type the tablature in Django and Matthew transfers those files into brail (Mathew is blind) via a programme of his own devising. Three cheers to Alain for developing Django and allowing Matthew to develop it into an area ignored
