[Finale] Fin 2009 and Snow Leopard?

2009-09-03 Thread Johannes Gebauer
Anyone tested this? I am not so interested in Garritan etc, but are there any other problems? I have ordered my version of 10.6, and want to install it. Will I loose Finale? Johannes ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu

[Finale] Scanning Software recommendations

I'm thinking about purchasing the SmartScore Pro software for use with Finale, but wondered if there's a better program out there, or if SmartScore is the way to go. Any suggestions welcome! Ken Ken Parsons Technology Coordinator School of Music Southern Adventist University

I own an older version of SmartScore, and for the most part I find it to be pretty effective. A friend of mine uses Visiv SharpEye, and I've been very impressed with how well it scans. So much so that it is on my wish list. The differences between SmartScore and SharpEye, from my limited

I've never had much luck with music scanning software in the past, but I tried the v5 demo of PhotoScore and liked it so much that I bought the full version. I have version 6 which does a good job with standard printed music. They have an option that reads handwritten music, but I've not tried

Amen, hence my initial post about the compatibility of Finale 2008. After years of using (quite happily) Finale 2003, I finally upgraded to 2008 two years ago. Plus I bought a 24 iMac. Kinda sad that I won't be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard since I plan to keep on using Finale 2008 for

David, This is a Garritan problem that Finale inherits. I know the people at Garritan pretty well, and I think it is likely that they will be on this quickly. Chuck On Sep 3, 2009, at 2:16 PM, David W. Fenton wrote: On 3 Sep 2009 at 15:40, Bruce, Jim wrote: I thought that you would

I was startled, not to mention dismayed, a few days ago to find that there are apparently no articles in Wikipedia for any composer older than Purcell! At the very least I could find nothing for Leonin, Machaut, Dufay, Josquin, Palestrina, Lassus, Monteverdi, or Schuetz. Seems to me there's

Of course, if programs are written well, like Apple's iLife stuff, or MOTU's Digital Perfomer, or any number of other programs I can name, they work just fine with 10.6...though ProTools doesn't.supposedly (I'm not going to trying it anytime soon) On Sep 3, 2009, at 2:16 PM,
