True, if all we expected of FINALE was purely notation; no conversions, no links from parts to the score, etc. then it could run in less memory. Every time some fuctionality is added, additional run-time memory is required for the additional lines of code in the application. I believe that Finale NotePad runs with much lower RAM requirements, if memory is a greater issue than enhancements. If your complaint is that they do not make it clear before you purchase, then I agree, but then 90% of business software on the market today falls short in the disclosure of performance requirements. But that's just my humble opinion.. Richard _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
