Overture from OpCode
Peter Kerr
Keith Borman, OpCode's Director of Sales has taken it on a Pacific Rim tour.
It looks good, nice interaction between event editor and score windows,
when entering or editing text it goes into word processor mode.
Fast screen redraws, simple music layout adjustments,
no nested dialogs, but the menus looked very full.
Has anyone else got useful comment on this?
Has it been reviewed in the press yet?

Overture is still *very* buggy. Also lyric and page layout are poor,
leaving lots of collisions unless the rhythms are very simple, and no
easy way to fix them except one by one, manually.
Overture's good points:
- the best midi features anywhere (basically chunks torn out of Vision)
- beatiful interface, very elegant
- many neat editing features (but still with bugs)
