I think I've got the second iteration, I'm gonna guess 2009. Solid kit.

Oh, yeah, I've long wished for an entire semester-long class devoted solely to engraving. Musescore's progressed by leaps and bounds, but the ease of use and out-of-the-box quality of engraving is still pretty late-90s Finale. But with serious time and attention, it can make very good results.

That has the downside of more or less locking students in to a commercial program post-graduation, though. If that's the route they choose, cool, but I stopped requiring Sibelius (or even using it in our mustech classes) a few years ago for that reason. For lessons, export to musicxml works fine.

This is as good a first post as any, I think.

Getting there myself. Miss you my friend.

In upside-down-and-backward world, I think it's just a side hustle.
