I stated that when you consider the size of the professional engraver market, MakeMusic devotes a disproportionate number of features directly to that market. These are features that benefit this group and few other people. I also stated that when MakeMusic has ideas on the table that can benefit everyone, including the engravers, it's easier for them to justify. Is it so damn hard to believe that this would be true? And is it so shallow to ask that you try to think of ways to benefit yourself as well as the bulk of other Finale users? I in no way suggested that you should ask for features that would help you LESS, but I did suggest you ask for features that would ALSO help other people MORE. I can't understand how it shouldn't be blindingly obvious that features that appeal to both you and everyone else are preferable to the company to features which just benefit you or just benefit everyone else.
No sorry, I am selfish. I want features that help me and I don't give a damn how many others will benefit from them. The truth is that those features I am interested in will probably mostly benefit the pro engraver, or at least those who primarily engrave, and not playback.
Now, it does seem to me that in this field Sibelius is not only catching up but actually passing Finale. If this happens I am out of here quickly. I don'care in the least whether a mass market of amateur composers who want a toy to play (with) their compositions are still attracted to Finale or not.
