Don't laugh to hard but I still fire up as far back as 3.5.2 as of today. A lot has changed but a lot is still the same (shape designer, chord suffix dbx, etc..). Finale really needs to OWN these and other very important developments by improving them with continued development. They have done very little with past developments over 20 years to improve them. Their problem has always been to introduce a feature and leave it half done to never revisit unless the user base floods their database with requests leaving those of us who really need the help, out in the dust even when they KNOW it needs to be finished (linked parts with hairpins).
They really need to change their model of software development. BTW: I "fire up" regularly 3.5.2, 97b, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012. I know the pitfalls and achievements with all these versions and the one thing that stands out most of all is the increased lack of care with fonts. It has gotten so much worse since we moved to OSX and I don't blame the OS. Steve On Sep 17, 2013, at 8:50 PM, "Robert Patterson" <rob...@robertgpatterson.com> wrote: > Finale 2012 is 2 years old.
