  18.     Thanks for your comments, Guy, and I hope you'll submit a mini-review
  19. or full review to comp.sys.amiga.reviews when you feel ready!

  23.     This is my biggest gripe about Copyist Professional, the one which
  24. is preventing me from buying it.  If you delete a measure in the middle of
  25. the score, Copyist can NOT re-align all your other measures to fill in the
  26. gap.  You have to move all your other measures by hand.  Same thing for
  27. inserting a measure.
  28.  
  29.     This was true, at least, as of 4 weeks ago, and KEYBOARD magazine
  30. complained about it in their review too (over a year ago).  I called the
  31. company and asked if they're going to fix this deficiency, and they said,
  32. "Well, the program really isn't designed to do that."  Bah!!  If your
  33. text editor can do it, your music editor should do it!  Even lowly DMCS
  34. does it.
