I would so much like to be optimistic about the new version--especially that the bugs from 2014 will be fixed! But all of this discussion makes me feel, shall we say, somewhat skeptical...
Just for fun, here is a list of bugs I am constantly encountering in 2014.5 for Mac (with El Capitan). Please feel free to correct me if I've missed a fix--or double the fun, and add the bugs you've discovered to the list! -Harp parts with glissandi in both hands don't play back correctly in Aria. -Harmonics play back correctly in some staves but not in others. -Smart Shape metatools can't be changed. -Text blocks do not display properly in Page View, except in Column View. (Or sometimes Book View.) -Sometimes Page View just refuses to change pages. Only switching to Scroll View gets me to the proper place. This happens (and disappears) unpredictably. -Contrary to the User Guide, Command-Home and command-End do not work in Page View. -At least when converting older versions to 2014, EPS graphics do not display properly. -The Tempo tool no longer allows more than one tempo in a bar! (There are some very kludgy workarounds.) -Playback controls do not work well; in particular, you have to hit either Stop or the space bar many times to get playback to stop.
