I'm trying to run music score edition applications and besides finale 2007 and sibelius 4 work great considering wine standards, it still has some glitches and bugs that make it very hard to work with it.
I'm just wondering: wouldn't it be easier to run the mac version of sibelius instead of the windows one? As I recall, applications such as matlab and spss even have a single UNIX version which will run on all unix*es including mac os x.

If you're saying "Can Sibelius do a Linux port based on the Mac version", better
go ask Sibelius.
Not sure what you're asking.I'm trying to run music score edition applications and besides finale 2007 and sibelius 4 work great considering wine standards, it still has some glitches and bugs that make it very hard to work with it.

Thank you for replying Dan kegel. Actually what I meant were neither the possibilities you suggested; in fact, what I was questioning was wether it would be possible to run mac apps (particulary the sibelius suite) natively on linux with some twiking; I'm asking this because as I exposed before there are other apps which have a so-called general UNIX version (mac os X, linux, etc.) what makes proof that this systems are in some way compatible or at least the apps I mentioned before have been written in some kind of multiplatform-compatible language (which might as well happened in sebelius).
I'd like to confirm this myself; unfortunately I don't have the necessary know-now yet. So I'm just suggesting something which might be of interest.
Cheers
