Suggestions 1 Through 182

Suggestions number 1 through 182 were first published in draft form in 1999 on the Finale Forum hosted by Coda Music Technology, Inc. Most of these suggestions stemmed from my own work with Finale. However, many were also refined as a result of, inspired by, or developed from comments made by forum members. I thank all those who offered their comments and encouragement (see list below) and especially Jesper Hendze who suggested that it might be useful to have these suggestions published outside of the forum to provide easier access to this material.
