I wish our list could be strong enough to DEMAND this.

The demands/requests are there -- what is needed is for MakeMusic to
respond in a manner which shows that they care about their installed
customer base, instead of using Finale-generated income to support their
SmartMusic development.
And the other aspect which is required is for Sibelius to be willing to
open its file format, something it has never felt the need to do. And
now that it's safely within the Avid corporate fold, they most likely
will never feel that they have to. And I'm sure the cross-grade sales
for users of Finale is supporting their opinion in this matter.
It would be very interesting to see the amount of cross-grade sales of
Sibelius for Finale-users and compare that with cross-grade sales of
Finale for Sibelius users.
My bet would be that there is a larger flow from Finale to Sibelius than
the other way around.
