In the history of Finale updates, I can’t remember Finale putting out more than
3 per version.
So, I’m guessing that the next iteration of Finale will have a new version
number on it.

Maybe those comparisons of cars and Tvs were a bit over the top - although I'd
like to know what your reasons are - you don't give any.

I generally agree with your comments on this subject. But I really
don't think this is a Wall Street play in this instance. I think it is
a case where Finale as an independent company could not find a business
model that worked consistently.
It seems to me that this SHOULD have
I think this list is being entirely too pessimistic about prospects for
future Finale releases. I should let someone like Michael Good speak for
himself (or for Peaksware) but I believe some key developers from Finale
are making the move. That hardly seems like they are abandoning Finale.

As far as I know, he has made no such statements publicly other than the
vague, bland non-denial the day they announced they were moving to
Boulder. Have you seen any?

I use F2014. On balance, for me it does enough things better than
earlier releases to justify staying on that level. But just barely.

are in Human Playback. There are all sorts of cases where volumes get

Michael Good poked his head into our mailing list early last month, but
there's no clue if he heard the responses, so I have copied him on this

No. I don't understand why it's acceptable for a product to be sold with enough
bugs. Paying for a bug-fix release (one that would riddled with at least some
other issues) is not the answer. Imagine if you bought a widescreen tv, only to
find that certain features worked only some of the time
Comparing software to a TV doesn't work. Or your car. Its ridiculous.
Adobe's products are FAR from perfect and most of them have a list of legacy
bugs that would make Finale's look teeny weenie. And Adobe also does what

OK, Eric. When can I buy the new version that corrects some of the old

this product wastes is the issue.

The point is that many of us would be OK paying for a new release if
that is what it took to get bug fixes. The point is that Makemusic does
neither new releases nor bug fixes. As far as I can tell, they just let
the thing sit.
Looking at Adobe's support site, I agree they are somewhat
