Steve,

Count me in. I'm open to discussing what I can do to help AND if the
opportunity arises, I would like to be involved in helping to select the
music included for young children. And I would be willing to format some of
the songsheets using Finale, provided I am given handwritten music. If there
are any other Finale (or other software for creating music) users, perhaps
we can share that responsibility, as it is time-consuming to create the
music.

Keep me posted.
