This comparison of engraving, using a one-page score for classical guitar, has been updated to ten programs, adding the new Dorico from Steinberg, and restoring Encore, a program of choice in South America, and Graphire Music Press, a highly-regarded application that is once again available.

Absolutely amazing! . . . Interesting! . . . This is certainly a worth while endeavor . . . a really great idea and I’m glad that someone is taking the time to do it the right way . . . I love seeing how each program handles music . . . I don't think I've ever seen a lineup of professionally engraved scores like this before. It's a great idea. I must say, I find it very encouraging that there is still a large element of personality to be found in every one of the engravings, despite the nature of computers. Long may that continue! . . . Very interesting indeed to see the subtle differences in the notation and how the eye perceives it for clarity.
