This is, in essence, the same thing Tom Carryth told me after a workshop in
Nashville last month. He said "speedy's" *current functionality would be
preserved*, but could wind up in one all-inclusive tool. Or, some of
"simple's" access to articulations, expressions, etc., could be brought into

Crap! I'm screwed! I find Simple so slow and counterintuitive that I
can't deal with it at all! All the commands are different, and some
that I need a lot aren't there!
Well, I feel the same. I've tried simple a few times with no real
success. But I can't tell if that's a problem of the inte

I would say that SmartMusic is indeed, for better or worse, their focus
now, even though Finale seems to make them more money.

My latest Finale installation is 2005. Compared to my first Finale (v.

is still a little clumsy, but then Simple entry really is the Sibelius

Yes, the vids rock. Great stuff there.
The only thing they don't stress enough in the vids is the keyboard
shortcuts, which cuts down on operating time quite a bit for many
functions.

Ok, were there any Questions that were interesting?
Does Finale 2008 save SmartMusic files that smartmusic 10 can read? I
mean, Finale 2007 came out in August of last year (I think), and it
wasn't until they got around to releasing SmartMusic 10 in April of 2008
that I could ditch Finale 2006.
I know Tom Johnson, and he always does things 3 times too fast for
me. Doesn't stop me from finding him to be a good guy, however.
