I see quite a bit of reference to rescaling.
Are these programs readily available, and at a reasonable cost, for
someone that would only use the program a couple of times a year?
Has a comparison been done on the different programs, as to ease of use
and cost etc.
Do they do the whole piano, or just the bass?
Thanking the list in advance.
