Justin,

You wrote in your blog that Finale 2012b would include:

popular feature requests, bug fixes, and entirely new features, too.

Could you give us any information on what those might be? I'm on Finale 2011 
and decided to wait for 2013. Now that that will be a year away I might 
consider getting 2012, provided the extras in 2012b are worth it (considering 
my needs).

The problem is, your upgrade price is good only through June 15. Will you be 
releasing more information before then? I won't upgrade without more 
information, but I don't want to lose out on the discount, either.

Viewing and performance, but not entering or

Thanks for the clarification -- any chance of there being editing 
capabilities added soon?  Or even possibly a whole new app for notation? 
  There are so many musicians who are using iPads for mobile musical 
work that I think Finale could gain a whole new marketplace should you 
add a notation app.  Notion is alright as far as it goes but it's too 
much like the PC/Mac Notion program for my tastes.  And Symphony Pro 
also is alright as far as it goes, but it, too, has severe limitations 
for those of us used to the capabilities of Finale and Sibelius.  And 
I've heard nothing from Sibelius about the possibility of a notation 
app, so the marketplace is wide open for Finale to capture.

I'd even buy a "new iPad" to replace my original iPad if Finale came out 
with a notation app which required the increased RAM and the better 
processing and graphics capabilities of the new iPad.

Jari,

Thanks for pointing that out (I didn't know!) and thanks for addressing it in 
the plugin, but honestly, this is something that broke several versions ago and 
should have been corrected immediately.

I have such a list of things to do to Finale files to work around problems like 
this one that it is getting hard to get work done. I sincerely hope the 
mid-term version addresses some of these bugs.

Justin,

Thank you very much for helping convince MakeMusic to break the annual 
upgrade cycle.  I am delighted that there won't be a Finale2013 this 
year and look forward to great things with the new 'release it when it's 
ready' mentality.

And I'm thrilled also that you're releasing an iPad app -- I hope it 
competes nicely with the current notation apps which are doing excellent 
things -- "Symphony Pro" and "Notion."  I'm using them interchangeably 
to create initial arrangements when I'm away from home and then using 
MusicXML to export the pieces from the iPad to my computer and will be 
eager to see what your development team have come up with to compete.  I 
hope it's not just a Finale version of Sibelius's Scorch, which is fine 
for playing and viewing files but not for creating or editing them.

And thank you for being so open about all this -- I hope it represents a 
new era in Finale's concern for their end-users.

Thank you!
David H. Bailey

Re: [Finale] Finale 2013

2012-05-30 Thread Girard Bowe
Might not be a bad idea to reiterate (on Justin's blog comments) some of the 
bug fixes and features we've been requesting. Here's a few off the top of my 
head:

In JazzFont, the dot in the dotted eighth rest is too far separated from the 
rest. Changing the spacing in Document Options then results in a dot too close 
to a quarter rest.

Checking Avoid Collisions of chord symbols can result in some very ugly spacing 
issues.

When using the Chord Tool, I have to right-click twice to get an arrow instead 
of the chord pointer ( I hope I'm explaining this clearly). Makes it very 
clunky when I want to change tools.

Can we get a decent looking letter Z in the JazzFont? 

How about a JazzFont version of the Bill Duncan chord library?

2012-05-30 Thread Phillips, Justin
Between the number 13 and the Mayan Apocalypse, I thought we'd throw the
towel in this year :-).

It is coincidence however that it happened to be what would have become
the "2013" version. We won't be moving back to the yearly release cycle
even after the next major release next year.

We try to keep OS support as long as we can, but when it starts to become
difficult to develop for using the tools Apple suggests you use for 10.6,
10.7 and 10.8, we have to stat moving away from it. We're at the point we
cannot make some needed technological updates and feature changes without
moving on. The other factor here is the low number of 10.5 and PPC users
we have currently. It's hard to justify development time and QA costs when
it gets under a handful of percentage points of users. This used to be not
as big of a deal when Apple charged much more for OS upgrades, but at $29,
people are moving to new versions much quicker and Apple is dropping
support for their older technologies faster than in the past.

As for the plug-ins, we'll try and help with support of those as much as
we can.

Good. MakeMusic finally sees that they need to fix things rather than just 
making everyone pay for the next version and maybe fixing stuff.

Will totally be interested in the iPad app. Hopefully it will be great. They 
really need a SmartMusic iPad version…..

I think they just wanted to avoid the "13" moniker.

I am not at all happy to hear they are dropping support for 10.5, but by
the time it happens I may not care as much. Whether Patterson Plugins makes
the transition, especially on the Windows side, remains to be seen.
