Actually my legacy files (which use Smartsynth) play back fine in Fin12. I am not picky about playback, and if it were up to me Makemusic would not have expended one minute improving playback beyond Smartsynth (because it has been at the expense of so much that I do care about). Doubtless many of you and others do not agree. Haha.
Still, I would like to hear a difference between pizz and arco, and if after enduring 5 cycles of what (for my purposes) are predominately useless upgrades they have made it more difficult to achieve, I really do have to wonder about their priorities. The main thing that has prompted me to upgrade to Fin12 (from Fin08) is the Unicode support, which I must admit is fantástico. (And of course there are some other changes that I like.)
