Gee, I don't know... that seems a bit steep. I'm only a student, and
so my finances are not unlimited... note I can get Finale academic
edition for $300, Sibelius academic edition for $215.

I suppose the "features are being held up until someone pays for it"
model will mean a slower rate of development for Lilypond...

I suppose I will just use my school's computers and work with Finale
on those. I can always draw in the articulations by hand after I print
out the score from Lilypond anyway.
