I just had a quick correspondence with Gary and this was the result:
"Hi Chuck,
OK. Based on your recommendation we will include a bass clarinet.
Thanks for the input.
I reread what you wrote and Tom and I like it very much.
Still waiting to hear from Greg so I can get off the island and visit.
Gary"
Would that I could experience such an effect on record companies,
concert promoters, or even the music department in which I work!
(The reference in Gary's email is to the "intro" to the Jazz Library,
which I wrote for them.)
Anyway, I'm glad to have been able to help.

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.
