Actually I can't talk that way about Finale - because I don't know it. What I formulated is _my_ LilyPond perspective on it, and I asked Janek to typeset the example with Finale with the given premises. I actually don't know what he did to come up with that result.On Tue, 2013-07-23 at 15:12 +0200, Urs Liska wrote:Am 23.07.2013 15:09, schrieb Richard Shann:On Sun, 2013-07-21 at 14:03 +0200, Urs Liska wrote:Am 20.07.2013 17:57, schrieb Richard Shann:I have been compiling some examples of LilyPond's typesetting compared with those of well-known alternatives: http://denemo.org/CompareScorewriters If anyone can provide better examples - these are just taken from published work that I could find with a quick search - then please let me know - especially if I am not doing LilyPond justice. My examples have a common origin in MusicXML files, but there may be some other way of standardizing the comparisons (short of re-typing music examples...).

- with many such programs you cannot certain markings or text without manually positioning it, it just floats at the end of the mouse pointer until you click.
This leads nicely to another point I wanted to throw in.This whole discussion reminds me of one topic I have on my wishlist for lilypondblog.org: How can you tell in a Finale or Sibelius score what is default and what is manually tweaked? This isn't intended to be a 'display of superiority' but rather a real matter of interest because I don't know (anymore) how a WYSIWYG user would think about such issues (if he is aware of them at all).
If anybody feels inspired to write something in that direction (e.g. showing an example, formulating a set of questions etc.) feel free to contact Janek or me.
