Thanks, Jari, for the excellent summary of new features. One or two of the new Staff options, plus Group Optimization and the new Engraver Slurs are 100 times more valuable to me than the bells & whistles that Coda touts. Strange that Coda's marketing seems so disconnected from its user base.
One item in your review puzzles me. About the new staff attributes, you said, "...the most fast and flexible way to now set the stem direction for a region of a staff is to create and apply a Staff Style for it." How is using a staff style either faster or more flexible than selecting a region in Mass Mover and Freezing Stems up? I have a quick key for Freeze Stems up, so I can do it darn near instantly, plus it only affects the layers that are visible (i.e., more flexible.) It seems to me like the new staff option would be more useful when you want it to apply to the whole piece rather than certain regions. -- Robert Patterson http://RobertGPatterson.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
