Re: [Finale] Backwards compatibility

[David H. Bailey]

For arranging a Bach fugue that is true, but notating a work by a modern 
microtonal composer using the notational devices of J.S. Bach is 
impossible, thus proving that even in the analog world of manuscript 
there isn't backwards compatibility.  If somebody who only knew how to 
work with Bach's notational language were to confront a microtonal (or 
aleatoric) composition they would NOT be "backwards-compatible."

That is stupid programming.


No it isn't.

For the less computer-intense folks, here's an analogy.  Doing a 4-part 
voicing in realistic Bach fugue style is terribly difficult if you don't 
know what you're doing.  For an accomplished arranger, it is just about 
automatic.
