Yeah, but I keep it classy, Valentine! I mean, making fun of somebody's girly name is high culture, whereas pointing out a lack of "bling" in an open-source project is just plain rude. > As for changing direction of ties, I really really doubt that it's > more easily achieved in Finale than in Lily.

Just drag it there with the mouse, look at it, drag it somewhere else. Now, you know, and I know, that this doesn't scale nicely to dealing with a hundred-page score, particularly if you want to change margins or page sizes or whatnot -- you'd need to manually redo all your absolutely positioned marks. But I'd bet that most Finale users don't do anything more complicated than a 3-page arrangement of "Jingle Bells" for SATB+piano, so the "scaling" argument is hard to make. LilyPond is not the best tool for every person in the world, and there's nothing wrong with admitting that.
