jef chippewa is the genius at this stuff. As for me, I just mentioned this one in a previous post. If that's the kind of thing you're looking for, it's mostly notehead changes, size changes, invisible barlines, and graphics built in the graphic expression tool. Finale 2003: http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/phylum-euphoria.pdf This one uses standard tools and graphics placement. Finale 2000: http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/ratgeyser.pdf This one uses the same sets of techniques -- graphics tool, stuff placed on page, score measures locked so it doesn't reflow, etc. (Finale 2.2): http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/withered.pdf This is plain old quartertone stuff with feathere beaming. Finale 3.7: http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/thiele1.pdf I also posted this one earlier. Another original done in Finale 2.2, lots of graphics, expressions, etc., enlarged and reduced, all done on the page and never in scroll view: http://maltedmedia.com/people/bathory/music/pdf/moon.pdf The earlier ones aren't as pretty, and I should redo them some day, but they're more legible than my pencil scores.
