Hmm. Finale already has this. Text>Inserts> File Date or Current Date.
Isn't "File Date" date of most recent *save*? Sib lets you choose the
date the document was most recently *printed*, which is (for me) much
more helpful.
• Custom keyboard shortcut sets, with the ability to assign your own
shortcuts to any menu item or action.
Kind of like Metatools?
No.
Now if that were applicable to ANY menu item or action,
It is.
as you appear to say Sib does,
I did.
that would be nice.
It is.
• AHA! There it is -- a checkbox for "View Parts In New Windows"!
So David, you *can* compare multiple parts side-by-side.
I didn't get in your last post, Darcy, what your objection was to
opening a new window of the same document. Sure it's one checkbox in
Sib, but it's one menu item away in Finale (Mac version, anyway)
File>Recent Items> click on whatever is presently open.
Chris, here we are talking about how Dynamic Parts are displayed (not
regular extracted parts). You should try the Sib demo to see the
difference between leaving this box checked or uncheked. This is a
feature Finale should steal *after they implement Dynamic Parts*.
• An option to automatically check for maintenance updates.
Yes, it's true. That option is FOUR clicks away in Finale (and you
have to type in your user name and password, unless you have it set to
autofill). No reason why it can't be one click.
Um, what? Where is the option to have Finale automatically check for
maintenance upgrades? I don't think Finale can do this, no matter how
many clicks are involved. Am I missing something?
Cheers,
