Yes, the included software is weak. Windows Fax and Scan OK, but I can't figure out how to keep settings for multiple scans. No problem with resolution for me, though. All good. On Jan 18, 2015 9:00 PM, "Dennis Bathory-Kitsz" wrote: > On Sun, January 18, 2015 8:24 pm, Raymond Horton wrote: > >

I second the motion for Mustek. Great price, no problems. I've used it with Windows Fax and Scan, looking for better software. My only complaint on the Mustek is that it has a black mat on the inside of the lid. This means one has to edit any scans that are too big (to save ink). On Jan 18, 2015

Hi Robert, This might not be exactly what you had in mind initially, but I have the Brother MFC-J6910DW all-in-one. It prints and scans up to 11x17 and I’ve been very pleased with it overall. I’ve been using it for a little over a year. And it won’t break the bank. I believe Brother has upd

2015-01-18 Thread Robert Patterson
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good scanner? I've decided that it will be much quicker to scan printouts into PDF's than to bring many of my old Finale files up to date, so I'd like to get a scanner for this purpose. Also, can anyone suggest a good tradeoff for resolution vs. file size?

hi david, as bruce said, finale is a crap word processor. however, it is indeed possible to type directly using IPA fonts into the lyrics window or to use "type into score" in the lyrics tool. but some fonts (SIL, for example) are mapped such that many common characters require knowledge o
