Urs mentions encryption being used by CodaMusic (I've never heard

doesn't lay out here the evidence of the reported intent of Word's

Coda Music was the original company re: Finale, way back in the day
before it was sold and became MakeMusic eventually.
I was indeed referring to Finale. At some point (around Finale 2014 or so) the
company was purchased by an investment company, and one of the first decisions
was to create an encrypted file format. AFAIK this decision has been reversed
by now.
I think you're right but honestly, things haven't been the same with
Finale since the company was bought out...again. And those changes
made....again. Yikes.
