It is fine to use heavier paper, but to use the brightest paper you can find seems odd. Normally music gets printed on slightly yellowish paper, which is easier to read esepcially in low light situations, and easier on the eyes. Some music organizations actually have firm rules as to what paper is allowed, and bright white such as inkjet paper is a no no. I have yet to find such paper supply in Germany, although I have a stock of creme coloured paper of heavy weight, I am not completely satisfied with it, so if any German fellow has a supply of paper similar to what the big publishers use, let me know. -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com http://www.camerata-berolinensis.de _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
