Re: [Finale] 2012 for $99 Thumbs up or down? Need more input!!!
Hey, folks, I expected a LOT more than two replies on this subject! (Thanks, Ryan and Jef!) I know you can't tell me if the (Windows) Finale 2011 to 2012 upgrade is worth $99 of MY money - just tell me if you think it would be worth $99 of YOUR money.

I bought the upgrade from 2011 to 2012 and would most likely do so again just because I like to keep current. But I don't notice any huge notation improvements, nor is my work-flow enhanced in any major way. If you've got the money, I would suggest making the upgrade, especially since the upcoming interim update patch, according to that blog we got a link to a couple of weeks ago makes it seem as if it will be almost like getting for free what we used to pay for each year. I'd say you should buy the upgrade. David H. Bailey On 6/14/2012 12:05 PM, Raymond Horton wrote: Hey, folks, I expected a LOT more than two replies on this subject! (Thanks, Ryan and Jef!)

I'll add my voice to the ones who advise to buy. As to the score manager, it is a work in process will likely take a few iterations to get close to perfection. As we all know, that seems to be a pattern with some major features. I like 2012 and share in the hope that the promised updater brings pleasant and needed surprises.
