Another lesson filled with "Meat." This Second tutorial is allowing me to create and edit a musical as I am watching it. I had FD7 for over 13 years and never felt confident to use it event once. I am using FD9 within 24 hours of purchase, thanks to this tutorial. ALSO: The information about protecting your scripts is very useful as well.
