Same with Data. I had a concert recording stored as SD II files on a CD,
which went bad. No way the
I have actually decided that I will give away the files after all. I think
my policy in the future will be that I reserve certain templates for my very
own use, which will not leave the house at all (and there wouldn't be much
use in that anyway, since they use fonts which I made myself including t

Again I have to put on my editor's hat and say that I fully understand the
publisher's position on this. He wants to know he can get his hands on the
original notation file if they decide to alter the original version, like
with a simplification, or perhaps to change title fonts and sizes to match
Providing the Finale files is akin to a software developer providing source
code rather than a binary executable. Generally speaking licenses that
provide for source code cost substantially more than those agreements
without such a provision.
You provide source, then they'll want documentation. T

I find the whole argument against giving Finale files away needless and
petulant for these reasons:
1. Settings don't ever become static. My settings change constantly,
and my "look" for my scores is in my eyesight and in my work method, not
in the numbers in my file. My customisation is int
The musicXML file will leave a lot of the minutiae behind -- it is a
fine system for inter-program transport, or for inter-version transport
within Finale, but you don't get the entire Finale file reproduced
exactly, which would render it all but useless for the publisher who
wants the Finale f
