can't find octaviation (va - lines) in "Finale NotePad 2003". Does
the full version offer va- lines ?
Yes, of course it does -- as well as all the notation you referred to
in your previous email.
Ok, it apparently has to do with "NotePad".
Why don't you just download the demo?
I haven't found it. But I searched the Help.
As to whether Finale plays 8ve sections, dynamics etc: I have no idea.
It might, it might not. My guess is it probably does, but either
way, that's not really what it's for.
BTW: Meanwhile I found va/vb. And it is a pure graphic! Ok, perhaps this
is unimportant.
(Incidentally, it may be true that a lot of Finale or Sibelius users
might actually find they could do the same or better with other
software on Linux, depending on what they actually need. But the
fact remains that there is no program on Linux similar to either, and
neither is there any mature project aiming to produce one.)
I find the missing of OCR (or better: OMR) is a big problem.
