yes, i would say it's worth the money.. i also like the ability to select performers by profile.. for instance.. if your hornline is mixed up in a large block but you want to select all the saxes.. you can type in 'sax' in the select by profile dialog box and it will pick out all of the saxes for you.. i also like the new text tool, where it remembers your favorite text boxes and placements.. there are many more keyboard shortcuts and i haven't gotten quite used to them, but i'm sure once i do, they'll save a lot of time. I still wish that they would let 'accept' be clicked by pressing enter.. oh well, baby steps.. tim
