Hi Mark et al,
As with anything, price is a point of view of how useful it is to you.
I know people who think Finale is over priced but if you need the level
of power that Finale provides opposed to Allegro, Printmusic or
Notepad, you pay the price and are glad to do it.
I recently used PDFtoMusic getting dozens of quickscribe scores out of
Digital Performer into Finale for a large orchestra recording project.
The time I saved using PDF to music was well worth $200. I could not
have re-input the notes in 4 times the time. If I'd used a standard
midi file (.MID), I would have spent much more time fixing note values.
I know, I've tried that route.
If you used Mosaic and have piles of PDF'ed scores and need to get them
into Finale, I've used it for that too, very useful.
The playback of PDF's is an advantage over Finale playback because of
the singing of the lyrics alone. I work often with choreographers and
directors who want a demo. They can't read a score or imagine where the
vocals come in from a demo with say an acoustic piano playing the
orchestra parts and an electric piano playing the vocal lines. But
even though the vocals from PDFtoMusic sound robotic, they give a great
representation of what and where for vocals. So far my clients have
been thrilled.
By the way, I'm not selling PDFtoMusic just really excited about a tool
that saves me this much time and adds this extra service to my clients.

I must say that nevertheless the effort the programmers could have
done in
making that software, the price is a bit high....
