        Well, I find it does what I want, but I'm just after Psalm tunes
(although I am kinda picky about how they get laid out :) ).  But one of the
things I particularly like about it at the moment is that it is still
evolving, so if it didn't do quite what I wanted just now, it would soon
:).  I'll leave others to speak about whether it's good for large complex
scores, since I know there are others who know more about this than me :).  

        :)
