The last time I looked at a financial statement from MM, notation

I think it depends on which quarter you are looking at --
the last time I looked, it was in the 3rd quarter and they
had a huge boost in income which they admitted came from the
annual upgrade to Finale. I didn't notice any real
comparison on an annual basis between the two programs.
If what you say is true, then it is despicable that
MakeMusic has reduced the number of developers for Finale
and put them onto SmartMusic, and has made the decision that
it is alright to ship buggy versions of Finale each
June/July instead of putting more development dollars into
their bread-and-butter products.
Have there been any improvements to percussion notation in
the past 10 years?
