Chas,
Methinks you have spoken too much on this sub-subject; most of it pure crap.

I see arranger development as simply integrating items that were once separate necessities for many players who are minus a drummer, bassist, guitarist, etc. Lyric sync-ing is just using modern technology to do away with books and charts, what's wrong with that. 1 finger, 3 finger, 7 finger chords, who cares - at least you know something about chords, maybe even something about harmony and rhythm. This forum is for people who PLAY arrangers, if you're going to knock the use of the new developments maybe you should expect some criticism.

I, for one, use SMFs much more than styles, why, because it works for me. 'nuff said.

BTW - Fran I hope there IS a Gx90 coming in the near future. I also hope it's about 5 lbs. lighter than the G70
