Colin, I do admit my comment was a great generalization, that even I don't completely agree with. And this all started with with my opinion that Coda should spend most of their resources improving the notational problems that still exist rather than added midi capabilities. I can't write without

Having purchased every upgrade since 1.0, I sure wish I could skip this one because of it's lack of OSX support. But alas, I have a FinWin 2003 file from a client to work on, so Coda is forcing me to upgrade if I want to continue working. Harold On Tuesday, July 16, 2002 7:59 PM, John Howell <

Yes Tim, I think I can agree with you here. My objection to this thread, is I believe many people were wanting it to become more of a full-fledged sequencer on the order of Performer and Logic. However, better implementation of what it does provide would not be a horrible thing. But please

Exactly! Finale is a NOTATION program with rudimentary midi capabilities - it is not a sequencer. When you want minute detail over midi playback, dump the midi data to a program designed to do that, like Logic or Performer. Use the right tool for the right job. All this complaining about midi

Sorry I have to disagree here. I receive the list in digest form. The idea is to receive just one (possibly 2) e-mails a day with the day's activity. We are now receiving dozens of digests each day. Many of the have only 2 or 3 messages. This defeats the purpose of receiving a list submiss
