Hi Chris,
You might want to hold off on buying the GPO Jazz Edition from Coda.

No word yet whether it will be more or less than the Finale upgrade
price.
I'm also *extremely* disappointed the jazz version won't include bass
clarinet. That's insane. Bass clarinet is probably *the* most
commonly-used double today, at least in small-group jazz. They include
piccolo and alto flute in the jazz collection but not bass clarinet.
It won't affect me (much) since I can use the bass clarinet from
regular GPO, but sheesh.

Hi folks,
Am I the only one who has seen the announcement of Finale 2006?
There's usually a lot of discussion when these things are announced,
and there seem to be some significant improvements (along with the
usual bells and whistles), including what looks like a real
improvement in control of mass copying behavior, much more
flexibility and efficiency in dealing with libraries, and some help
with graphic export (something I rarely use, but would if it were
easier. There's also integration with Garritan (nice for me, since I
now seem to be a little part of that, and will certainly find use for
the jazz sound samples), and improved Kontact integration (or so the
PR seems to indicate).
They mention July 2005. I just got the email notice now. But when I
tried to pre-order, Firefox kept telling me that the document
contained no data. Safari works fine, though.
One thing, I noticed that Garritan Jazz and Big Band Collection is
announced as well, on the check out page, at US$ 199.00. From the
Garritan website it costs $259. I was hoping to get a reduction since
I already own the Personal Orchestra, but it looks like Finale is the
key to getting a discount.
