I had thought this was easy. I had it working. I had time to check
today, it was a file on finale 3.5. Before XP, that is.
I had it working using some japanese software extension on win98, I
guess... Was it Twinbridge?
I thought it would work with XP using Microsoft IME, but I installed
and tried it today.
It works fine with word, but not Finale. When I opened the 3.5 file
it would not show japanese characters.
I tried to input text into Finale using Microsift IME, but it did not work.
BTW, it did not work with sibelius, either...
I ask myself why not, after all this time, and how you can do it
using IME or a similar input device? And what do the Japanese use?

Oh, I see. Then it must be single byte.

No, no. That's not what I meant. I meant single byte Katakana are
difficult to read compared to double byte ones. For example, 'dakuten'
becomes additional byte so they appear as if they are two characters.
I actually lied. I realized Windows still supports single byte Katakana
by F8 conversion, but Microsoft GUI Guideline does prohibit the use of
single byte Katakana.
