It's funny, because over the weekend I answered some siren call ... beckoning me to return to my attempts to learn Finale. I opened one of the tutorials, and sure enough, I found a few things easier to grasp.
Okay, "a few things". There are a million things. But hey.
That having been said, I LOVE a good handwritten score, and DR Elmore's are beautiful.
I think this goes back to my first shows during high school years, when we were getting handwritten scores as often as not, to THE MUSIC MAN, CARNIVAL (hmm, I wonder how I happen to still have that one...? - it's probably accrued a few late charges by now...), and others. Those things shot right into my bloodstream.
