Well, I've never met in person anyone at all who uses Finale, at home, at work, or at school! I've been using it since '97 or '98 for personal use (hobby). I don't knowin what kind of world you are living, but if you know musicians and/or composers and/or music students, you are very likely to meet people who use Finale at home. You're not always staying at home, aren't you? Maybe if you live in a small town and you're the only musician there, but otherwise there are tons of people using all kinds of music notation software.

I'm an independent composer who works at home, in my home office. I've worked in my home office for over 20 years, and that's the only place I've used Finale for myself (I give occasional local classes in using it). Most of my composer colleagues do their work at home as well. Are people who use Finale at work or at school real dead users? Unreal live users? Real live unusers? Night of the Living Dead users?

RE: [Finale] TAN: real live users
Long before I came to work here at Coda, I used Finale 97 at home (windows), and while I was in college I maintained a mac lab with Finale 3.2.1 and 3.5 (and taught many a fellow student the joys of Finale) -Original Message- From: Harold Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 11:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Finale] TAN: real live users David McKay writes: I have been using Finale since 1995, but have never met a person who uses the program *at home.* I have met a few people who use it in schools, though. Dear David, Although I have taught composition in college for over 30 years and supervised the lab courses in Finale, I have done 95% of my work in Finale at home. My students may start in the lab, but they all eventually use Finale at home and leave the lab for the beginners. I do almost all of my composing at home, mostly with pencil and paper first.

I'm sure this is typical for many composers on the list, but I know that people involved with the music business, copyists, arrangers, musical theatre, church musicians, etc., may work differently.

Re: [Finale] TAN: real live users
David, My wife will tell you that I use Finale at home (work is work, no matter where you do it...) :-) Whether for creating tests and worksheets, or doing moonlighting orchestrations, or working on my own compositions, or something for church, or my wife needing something for her elementary school classroom, I my personal license about every day. Of course, now with laptops, I use it a lot of other places as well. Point is that I own a personal license that I use on a regular basis, in and out of the academic setting. It would be interesting to see what percentage of Finale licenses are of the single user variety. I expect it is pretty large. Like Hal's experience, many of my students (practically all of my composition students) buy their own copy of Finale before they leave college. I think a good indicator would be number of active single user licenses. Ask Coda. I know they sell a lot of them.

Re: [Finale] TAN: real live users
I expressed myself poorly in my email, and have been misunderstood. What I meant was this: Other than on the net, I have never met a person who uses Finale, though I admit I have met one or two people who use it in high schools. I have met one or two people who use Sibelius, but I also think that their copies belong to institutions such as universities. I have met several people who use free programs from the net, such as Noteworthy Composer. Over the past 40 years, I have been a music student or music teacher and I have met quite a few musicians. I always tell people how much I appreciate Finale, but most musicians I meet think it is too expensive. I think it represents great value for money.
