Do you use "Largo al Factotum", and if so how did you develop it?

If Finale can save as MIDI format, please email me off-list with attachment. I use Noteworthy
Composer at present (still trying to win the Sibelius!!!) so if you can save as *.nwc even better!
You'll have guessed I don't use Finale.

Thanks.

Ian
