God I'm glad I started this thread. Really - how about MakeMusic and
Sibelius sitting down and discussing their future. I mean, they share most
of the professional (and many less professional, no qualification intended)
users wanting to notate musical scores.
Thinking about some file compatibility
Ok, the stafflines are displaying better in low resolution. Since I need
PDFs for printing, I don't mind much. And when I want to look a PDFs, I use
high resolution (1920x1200), and that's fine - say, compared with the
quality of tons of scanned PDFs I have...

This does not address the fact that Finale's "Compile Postscript Listing"
function produces a perfect display. Finale prints to Postscript and
compiles Postscript q
PS to previous: The reason this is very important for me is that "Compile
Postscript Listing" does *not* include embedded graphics. For many scores, I
need them, and have had to fall back on printing to Postscript and its
poor results.

doesn't.

Kurt,
Most of my files are 20-100MB with their embedded graphics -- a tad too
large to send. But I am trying another set of new drivers, and other than
the staff lines,

Try
