So, who am I?
I am using Finale since 2.2 after using some Atari programs as Notator and Score (I don't even know how it's name was) and after using a Commodore C 64 where I set "Jesus, meine Freude" manually using a graphics program...
I am a musician. I started with guitar, than piano, than church organ, and I studied church (church organ, conducting) music and school music (education). Later I studied Jazz Saxophone and Piano, and right now I'm taking Jazz Singer's lessons.
I'm teaching at a Gymnasium (high school?) in Zug, Switzerland, and I do a lot of arranging. I also wrote a book containing songs for my church (my Finale get-through), and I wrote and will write a lot of canons whicht I love (some are published in the meantime)... I teach from 12 to 19 years old and really like the job.
I also love Funk, Soul and Jazz besides my classical education, and during the last year I bought a Rhodes Mark I, a Wurlitzer 201A, a Clavinet/Pianet, and finally a RT3 which is a B3 plus more pedals and special pedal presets (and a Leslie, and a Hammond Cabinet).
I use Finale to arrange and compose, but often I write using pencil/paper first and use Finale for notation.
I miss Finales' former EPS options most. For several versions I have not been able to print Finale EPS instead of .TIF - EPS would give me much more flexibilitiy...!
I also like HQs (Haikus) - so....
Using Finale is a thing to sing in Spring EPS lacking...
cheers
Kurt
