David Bailey queried:
MakeMusic's own press release on their finances admits that Finale is a relatively high-margin product, so why are they spending so much energy on the lower-margin SmartMusic?
I can think of some reasons:
1) In order to create a SmartMusic file, one needs to have a copy of a
Finale product; I don't do much with Notepad, so it's quite possible
that one has to have a Finale Product that one paid for.
2) The potential market for music engraving software worldwide is in
the magnitude of tens of thousands; the potential market for Smartmusic
users is in the order of magnitude of hundreds of millions.
3) For now, many SmartMusic files are available for free with a
subscription; I look for this to change, and you will have to purchase
Smartmusic files, either in a compilation of some sort, or per each.
