Thanks for that.

It's entertaining (for a while), although maybe a bit exaggerated about some things. eg As I'm sure you remember, it's easy enough (not obvious, I agree) to change a font globally in Finale via the menu Document>Data Check>Font Utilities, but in his video he makes a great jokey performance of not b...
