Technically, there's just a change regarding the staves in Fin2011. The Fin2012 changes is mainly UI changes. An idea regarding TGTools (along the lines of MM buing it) would perhaps be to see if a Kickstarter account could be set up to buy TGTools to put it as open source? Please be aware though, that the Windows version might be very dependent on Borland's compilers. > It seems to me that Jari is our future and is slowly providing > all of the functionality of TGTools and then some that is > up-to-date.

A while ago, I decided to not be dependent on TGTools, and ideally I don't want to be dependent on most of the built-in plug-ins, the Utilities menu or the Layout Tool or Special Tools. JW Change is the first plug-in that's fully using this approach. However, I'm dependent on Robert Patterson's plug-ins, plug-ins which I think are very good!
