Hooray, Mine is here, too! For the first time in my life I am a proud owner of a Finale T-Shirt. Wow! The new hyphens work really well (one has to turn them on in documents created on older versions, though) and distances are specified easily. It's just that now we all have to clean up

I've been looking at the new Fin04 features (without being able to *use* any of them--don't think beta testing is any bed of roses) for nearly six months. Yet it took me until yesterday to notice one of the best improvements in it: Simple Note Entry. Are you a Speedy addict? Have you ever tried

You are definitely right! I have been a hyper-scribe-midi-keyboard-enterer since day one. I have never really understood how speedy works. But this now is really great. It works like a type-writer for music. And it's so fast once you get used to it. I am wondering whether this might be faster than
