Although I have not upgraded for several years, this news is nonetheless, of concern. The link describes major restructuring and a search for people to fill positions of "software developer; a software QA engineer; and a product designer." So they got out a new version, with its inevitable bugs, fired everyone, and are trying to find people to replace them. That sounds pretty chaotic to me.
What also caught my attention in the article was this: "...a key part of MakeMusic's marketing strategy for Finale 2014 is to tout that "while others take music notation software development for granted, Finale is doubling down to provide you and your music a clear path to tomorrow." That is the most meaningless, tortuous, tangled-metaphor, marketing-speak sentence that I have seen in long, long time. There is not a single phrase in it that makes any sense at all. "Doubling down"? "others take software development for granted"? Is it supposed to be a great relief that Finale is there to give my "music a clear path to tomorrow"? It's laughable.
