Thanks for the tip. I haven't figured out yet how to open a GUI for it, which it seems like you're describing. I'll look that up. > That prints the squiggly arpeggio symbol on the score.

In that piece I sent you, you probably know the arpeggiation I'm talking about. It worked out pretty well using sixteenth notes or whatever it was, don't you think? I could have used something smaller for a faster arpeggio, as well. > Somebody did a feature request for that fairly recently. I have no plans to > implement it myself.

It's a LOT better than I expected I'd find, to be honest. It's certainly not the pain in the butt it was when I first tried making notation on a computer (which was a long time ago, of course, and I did give up). If it sounds like I'm complaining a lot, trust me, I'm really happy with what I've been doing. Maybe after I've used it enough to take it for granted, I'll get annoyed by something, lol. > Complication > up the bazzoo, and math math math.
