I prefer to compose at my Yamaha keyboard (now showing its age with some key rattle) with my laptop hanging off its MIDI output, so that whatever I like can go straight into Finale. If I want a more portable set-up, I borrow my son's Keystation 49. The main disadvantage of the latter is that I can't make WinFin 2004 play immediately what is on the keys as WinFin 2000 does, only what is in the score. I have never calculated whether I create worse pollution with the electricity turned into heat than with the paper that I would otherwise have to throw away, but much of the time, in this cool climate, the heat does another job on its way to the outside atmosphere. -- Ken Moore [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.mooremusic.org.uk/ I reject emails > 100k automatically: warn me beforehand if you want to send one _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
