Well, the default speedup wasn't appropriate for the music I was working with. That is, it didn't start slowly enough, though it ended up OK. And, of course, it's a one-size-fits-all approach, whereas music needs different types of trills in different situations. There is no provision in HP for the type of long appoggiatura trill that is quite common in all sorts of music.

I don't have full Finale, only the Finale 2005 demo, so I don't have any documentation for that. What I found was that it wasn't smart enough to realize the turns in *my* files. > If there are features you would like future versions of HP to > implement, you should email Robert Piéchaud directly. > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, most of the features I'd like implemented are in MakeMusic's side of the equation, i.e., in providing an interface to defining how HP playback is defined. It's less of an issue to me what HP does or does not realize as it is an issue that it won't be as useful as possible until there's more user control over it. -- David W.
