The video is what made it instant vaporware.
That video reminded me of the movie "Tucker."

the film, but for these purposes I'll take the film as as fact.)

I refuse to argue over the definition of vaporware. The Steinberg product
does not exist, and that makes it vapor in my book. You are free to write
your own definition.
My main point is, it does not matter how good a software developer you are,

While I can understand your reservations, many longtime Finale users
may not be familiar with Daniel Spreadbury. He is a genius when it comes
to notation (and music software in general). He is thoroughly familiar
with both Sibelius and Finale, well antiquated with most other music
software, and

I don't think it's fair to call the Steinberg product "vaporware." Steinberg is
an established software company that has hired an established development team
(almost the entire Sibelius staff) headed by one of the most respected people
in the industry, Daniel Spreadbury. So far, they've refrain
I am aligned with Darcy's priorities. Computers ought to be good at these
tasks - be able to analyze the parameters and make appropriate adjustments.
This seems to me to be the kind of mathematics that can be usefully built into
software.
Translation of audio files into notation is a more sop
You're thinking of ThinkMusic, not the Steinberg product.

that'll work in 0.05 there.

"Page format for parts", great, will take a look. Could find anything about

and 9 for subsequent pages. This is my problem right now and I know that it
