Well, the users here have identified a whole bunch of problems, within a 
week or so of the release.   If they *are* doing this, then they are

I have to reiterate my belief again that Finale, for all its wonders, needs
to offer beta-versions to power-users – dozens of them – on a volunteer
basis before their releases. Many issues throughout all versions could be
avoided if enough hardcore pros tested out their normal workflows. In-house
expertise can only go so far.
