Re: [Finale] Upgrading from Fin2011
I'll try to do a speed comparison, when I have the patience. That is in short supply, ever since my stroke.

Re: [Finale] Upgrading from Fin2011
Thanks for the comments. Yes, I do already own both newer versions, so I guess I'll give 14.5 a try. Most of the things I work on would probably not be considered very large (chamber orchestra, less than 1000 bars), so probably I won't notice speed issues.

Re: [Finale] Upgrading from Fin2011
If you are thinking about upgrading from 2012, and you are concerned about speed, you might want to read this blog post <http://www.finalemusic.com/blog/next-version-finale/> by Mark Adler. I think the prospect of a 64-bit Finale would cause me to hold off upgrading until it was available. But as I understood what Aaron Sherber said, he already has 12 and 14.5, so from my perspective it's a no-brainer to go ahead and jump to 14.5. If he finds speed is an issue he can always export the musx to mus and continue his work in 12.

Re: [Finale] Upgrading from Fin2011
Curious how much faster you would say 2012 is, and to what size of file you're referring. I'm on 2012c, and whenever I start considering biting the bullet and upgrading, it seems I inevitably come across a comment on Fin2014 that makes me think it's not worth it. -Lee -Original Message- From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of Raymond Horton Sent: Friday, July 01, 2016 1:43 PM To: finale@shsu.edu Subject: Re: [Finale] Upgrading from Fin2011 2014 .5 is good. 2012 is faster for very large files.

Re: [Finale] Upgrading from Fin2011
Once of the great improvements in 2014 and higher is beat-attachment of smarts shapes (rather than measure attachment). Not only can you get more precise endpoints, you can unlink the endpoints in parts and edit them separately. Another great improvement (with 2014) is that most of the special tools are unlinkable in parts. I think the choice of 14.5 over 12 is a no-brainer.

Re: [Finale] Upgrading from Fin2011
Aaron - I’ve found 2014.5 (Win10) to be the most stable version in years. No complaints here. And in light of the special $99 upgrade offer this weekend, snag it!

But I've been having a few minor compatibility issues with Windows 10, so I think it's time to move on. I have both Fin2012 and Fin2014.5.
