Yes. > How many of these >are >free, and how many are commercial programs? At the moment, I think only TGTools is commercial. Jari's plugins and Robert's plugins are freeware right now, although Jari is working on a set of plugins called Forza which I think he will charge for once it's out of beta. >Is there a listing of what they do >anywhere, so I can read them and decide how suitable they are for the kind of >work I want to do.

TGTools does come with a keyboard remapper facility that lets you assign custom hotkeys to menu items, which I do find very useful (I have my function keys mapped to different Finale tools, for instance, which saves me mousing up to the tool bar).
