I found a demo of Finale for the PC, but haven't spent enough time to see if it will do everything Sibelius does - I really like sibelius! Sibelius does have educational pricing which brings it down to $250US, and my wife is going back to college this Fall. I would not mind paying a lot less for something that would do the job, I just haven't found anything that appeals to me as much. The Korg works great with Sibelius too, as does my scanner with the scanning software they provide. ===== Enjoy, Art artfuljoy@xxxxxxxxx 'Think as I think' said a man.
