They have indeed. I shouldn't contribute to a bad-ole-days thread, but can't help myself. I moved to Cologne for a month in 1991, and spent the entire time copying the parts for my 25-minute "Softening Cries" for string quartet and large orchestra. Then I had to leave for several months in Amsterdam. Of course, one of the first things I ordered when I arrived home the next June for the performance was Finale ... but it wasn't until five years later that I got back to Cologne to see the city.
