LilyPond 2.8.2-1 (Mac OS X)
Lilypond was started because programs such as Finale, Sibelius, or Overture by default produce a score layout that is well below publication quality. While the majority of musicians might be surprised to hear this, genuinely professional engravers know of the problems and they modify the score to meet their high standards. The occasional element clashes produced by Lilypond are very minor compared to the engraving problems produced by Finale or Sibelius. I came across a score by Meridian Publishing, Inc. that quite clearly used the default output. Fine for casual use, unacceptable for publication. Contrary to what zimbop says almost every aspect of Lilypond's output can be modified. Granted, figuring out how is not always very straightforward. But doing things such as adjusting spacing and moving elements to avoid clashes is usually fairly simple. The high-quality output of Lilypond is due to the fact that they haven't spent any time developing a GUI, but rather focused on researching excellent engraving practices and developing Lilypond to reproduce them automatically. As a composer who takes pride in my scores, I have switched to Lilypond and do not intend to go back. Lilypond is probably not for the person who likes to print up scores on the computer with a minimum of fuss. But Lilypond is for the composer or musician who is willing to spend a little more time in order to produce a beautiful score. And it really only takes a little more time once you become accustom to Lilypond's input. But it does have a reasonable learning curve. [alert admin]

To remove an application right/control-click on the application and select "Remove <application name>". To find the "missing" PowerMate configuration controls check out page 8 and 9 of the User Guide.

This version doesn't require a kext. Try removing the com.griffintechnology.powermate.plist file in your ~/Library/Preferences folder and see if that clears up your problems.

Features I can't find or missing... 
Click on the little drawer icon (next to the plus button) which will expose the connected PowerMates. Then right/control click on the PowerMate and select "Configure..." from the menu.

Correction: The poor score was produced by Meridian Integrated Media, not Meridian Publishing.

The input level was moved to the Preferences window, partially to discourage users from using software gain as a means of setting the input level (you should first set the level in System Preferences->Sound).

It is probably because Final Vinyl 2.0 saves files in AIFC format by default and Click Repair may only support AIFF files. Try either of these to see if it works: 1. Select wave 16bit as the default save format in the preferences. 2. Or try exporting the file in AIFF format.

Hi wealthy chef. It was not sloppy thinking for you to think there was a kext, because you instinctively know an application is not in a position to wreak USB device havoc (at least not on accident). Hence why I was pointing my finger elsewhere. I do not doubt that you were experiencing crashes while using the 1.0.5 software. However, just because it doesn't happen with 2.0b21 doesn't mean the actual problem is gone, just the…

wealthy chef, the radioSHARK software has never used a kernel extension or any other low-level software. If you were having problems with v1.0.5 conflicting with other USB devices and crashing your computer it sounds like you might have other issues with your computer. Any problems you are having with b21 should be sent to Griffin tech support with a summary of the problems, I am quite certain they will be considered and fixed if necessary.
