All I want in the next version is bug fixes. Bug fixes. Bug fixes. And that means not only the things that don't work, but also the things that seem to work, but then don't when you need them most. Engraver slurs for instance. Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com

I completely agree with Johannes here. I haven't moved up to 2K8 and I'm not going to until the bugs are fixed. That decision doesn't bode well for me and Finale, and I know it, but so be it. I'm wrestling with a lot of file corruption in 2K7 and it's frustrating. I don't want any more

I definitely concur, provided bug fixes includes finishing the job on Linked Parts. Finale has many good features that are half-finished or incompletely implemented, but that is by far the most frustrating one because it is potentially so very useful. I still can't quite believe it got no

Hi folks, I don't know about you, but the thing I simply miss most in Finale, and I've been using it for almost 20 years now, is file compatibility. Every version has a new file format which is not compatible with older versions - that would be ok - IF - and only if - there was the option to
