Last week I was given an assignment from JoAnne Kane Music Prep to engrave
Jerry Goldsmith's "Ave Satani" from THE OMEN for the L.A. Philharmonic to
perform as part of some marketing tie-in to the new OMEN movie that was
recently released.

Now the music software I use (Finale) uses its own proprietary unit of
measurement to define where everything is placed on the page, the margins, the
spaces between notes and staff lines, etc. It’s called an EVPU. When I was
done with this piece, I had two out of the twelve pages that totaled an
average measure length of 6.666 EVPUs. I've never had *any* page come out to
that number in any other piece I've ever worked on.

I feel like maybe I need to contact the local parish and have a priest come
over and spiritually cleanse my computer.

Hope you're joking - your puter is only a tool which can only be
righteous or otherwise in the hands of its owner.

My computer was used for the last several days for tax preparation work
on a number of tax returns. The Internal Revenue Code was written in
Hell and the computer is absolutely a cursed object.

I don't agree with you.

You are fortunate - the Canadian deadline is 04/30 and I've not even
