It is the manuscripting portions of Finale, made into a stand-alone package, and enhanced. According to the Coda people I have talked to, it is significantly better than Finale for manuscripting, significantly cheaper, but, of course, doesn't do all the rest of the stuff that Finale does. Has everyone else seen it and rejected it for some reason, or is it just a well kept secret? -- :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: | Brian G.
