Reading your review, I'm disappointed again. I mean, ok, Windows users get PDF creation. Mac users have had that since OS X version of Finale. Oh, a another font I'm not going to use. Whoohoo. Basically, I'm paying for a score manager now. Which I don't think would help me in any way. Good

Okay, I'll bite -- how was it done? It's certainly not simply entering the music on straight staves and then grabbing the staves and bending them. I went through the whole score in Speedy Entry and there weren't any notes showing in any of the frames. So if no notes are showing up in speedy f
