Thanks. I do know about the group deal, and that is the reason I am enquiring about it now. Unfortunately there aren't really that many string demos on the site, and the only one which has a mixture of solo and ensemble strings doesn't sound all that great (the 4 seasons). Better than the

David Horne: Can you use an Apple Cinema display in rotation? I was at CompUSA recently and rotated the image on an Apple Cinema display with no problem. The challenge will be mounting it so that you can physically rotate the panel. At least some Apple monitors lack VESA mounting holes. I

[Finale] smart shape library workaround

2005-05-24 Thread Chuck Israels
Hi Guys and Gals, What do you think of this? In order to get a custom smart shape library from document to document, make a document which has all custom smart shapes attached to one measure, copy that measure into a new document (template, whatever) and then delete the unwanted measure.
