[Finale] Sibelius 6.1

I just played around a little with Sib 6.1, and I must say that the slurs are really good. They are everything Engraver slurs should have been, but aren't. I haven't tested them in depth. Willl they work well for system ends? Johannes ___ Finale mail

Well, makemusic does as much. Remember the finale release where they touted having the copyright sign as a new feature? Finale 2006 or something? I believe that is what Henry was referring to. The memory thing in 6.1. I couldn't come up with anything else from Sibelius.com that would fit
