I emailed the link to my husband. We've been looking at Finale for years and lusting after it. I used it with the fire department when I volunteered there, and loved it then. I'd sure like to try this one out.

Bravo!

I need to look into this software... wow, could it be I have found a useful (ie beyond interesting) blog entry?

Thanks for the tip, Michael
