Hi Allen, Finale 2004's performance is, unfortunately, bad all around. Finale redraws are very slow and getting slower, especially on OS X. What's more, it suffers greatly by comparison to the Distinguished Competition. Sibelius 3.x has effectively eliminated lag and redraws by using OpenGL

Thanks to those who responded to the MIDI percussion mapping question. Another MIDI question. What is the best workaround for the playback problem, in a string section, of having the whole section go back and forth from pizz to arco when only one of the sections changes? When the celli or basses
