I pay money for my Finale upgrades because they contain features that I want, and that will save me time. I don't expect my software to be bug-free -- I'm far too realistic for that. But provided it's quicker for me to use Finale than it is to use a pencil and paper, and provided I'm not constantly fighting against bugs in the software, then hey, I'm happy.
But perhaps I'm just not as passionate/crazy as you, David!
Best, -WR
Moi? Passionate? Crazy? Could be.
Could be just that sometimes things rub me the wrong way and I get all bent out of shape unnecessarily.
Ultimately, the company doesn't care as long as we give them the money, which I do with each upgrade because I, too, find it better and easier to get results with the software than without it.
I also know that there isn't any alternative, and the software industry knows that as well.
There's no way I can produce engraved output without my computer, and there's no way Sibelius or any other software product I am aware of can give me the quality of output that Finale gives me, nor the control over that printed output that Finale gives me.
Doesn't mean I won't get upset when they say "We know it's a bug and we're not going to fix it."
But they know I don't have a choice either. Maybe that's what galls me the most.
