One thing struck me asHi Chip,
being unfair, however: your approach and criticism of
Finale. I am a theorist and composer and I use Finale
exclusively to engrave my work and your criticism of
it is unfair when pitted against Lilypond. The
problem with criticisms such as this one don't take
into consideration that everything with Finale and
more is fully customizeable.
The news is that Sibelius just outshines Finale in most areas.
I used Finale for years and Lyrics have always stunk, sorry my french.
A good portion of poor design issues that were with finale from day one still make using it such a pain.
Furthermore, I haveWell I have and even though finale isn't all that bad, you are stuck with their way of doing things or you are out of luck.
NEVER experieced results like the piece you posted
with default settings.
One thing I found with binary formats is the inabilty to search for strings. What I mean is that with lilypond, abc and the ascii based notation systems I can search within a directory for a motif a8 a b b c c a. To do this with a binary format is almost impossible with out expensive customized software.
Infact if Sibelius could also do lilypond, abc et all I would choose it over all the alternatives.
My 2 cents. Aaron
