I bought Finale, many years ago, to engrave. The playback was useful to me almost entirely for checking notes.

However, the improvement in playback in the last three versions, with HP and GPO, has been amazing. The improved playback is now extremely useful to me. I can now make high-quality demo cds of my scores to give conductors that surpass the quality I ever dreamed of. I love it. More playback improvements? Bring them on!

(I never spent time learning sequencers, and never wanted to. Notation is what I know, and what I work with. I always found sequencers frustrating, and was always grateful to get back to Finale.)

Hi all,

I have never cared much about playback, aside from a preliminary proof-read for simple engraving projects. Are there actual stats to show the veracity of the above statement?

If this is the direction that Finale is going to take (to the exclusion of engraving issues), then perhaps it is time for me to bail.

On the other hand, if this is not true, I would hate to see the programmers at MM getting the wrong impression about their subscriber base.
