Hello,

Is there someplace online where I can find a comparison of PM2004 and PM2011?
Or does anyone out there recall offhand what the significant differences would be?
I'm interested primarily in the Page Layout features-- are there any big changes in Page Layout between 2004 and 2011?

Thanks,
Ch.S.

I don't recall any page layout changes. However, there were a number of other useful reasons to upgrade, the best being the new Selection Tool.

However, for me, the biggest change was one for the worse: as of 2011, you can no longer hide individual staves. For this reason alone, I don't recommend upgrading PM beyond 2010.

The Selection Tool is indeed a wonder.
Do you recall when it came into PM?
Thanks,
