I'm still using the free demo for Finale called Notepad. It has a quirk that freezes up my computer every so often, which is really irritating and inconvenient, but I've learned much by using this (to me) fairly complicated program. It also quietly saves hundreds of files in a hidden directory, which seems kind of inefficient. I'd like to have a personal tutor to help me better learn how to use these modern advantages. Any volunteers? Maybe we can do it through email? Steve
