You button-presser you. Ouch. That hasn't changed since I started with Finale back in FinWin2.2! Actually, I've used Finale for so long that I can do graphical stuff fairly quickly -- and that's where the conversion to Sibelius fails. I mistrust "auto flow" type programs. I was forever fighting with Graphire because it tried to be too smart and I couldn't keep things in place. It was as hard to do as Finale. I could do this stuff in 2.2: http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/moon.pdf And this stuff in 2003: http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/phylum-euphoria.pdf Finale can be tamed, but I'm not so sure about Sibelius. I have the Sibelius 3 demo, and I'm pretty clumsy with it. Dennis _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
