But the complaint about Finale's explode function not copying unison sections to all exploded parts (or at least the ability to turn that possibility on/off) is more like needing to use a plug-in to accurately copy a section of a picture in Photoshop. Exploding those unisons along with the separate pitches is a basic function that all copyists know to do with music manuscripts. This isn't a "fancy thing" at all.

I can see making things like the canonic functions be plug-ins (only problem, they're included with the program, not an aftermarket purchase), but turning the Explode function into a plug-in to work correctly is tantamount to saying "please, somebody else, make our program work properly."

Not the same thing as saying "please, somebody else, give us more special effects and transitions."

Things like auto-harmonize, drum-lick creation, etc. Those are definitely plug-in type special effects.

And I agree that TGTools is a terrific bargain and I am very thankful Tobias has created them and has kept updating them.

Aaron is completely right here. All professional programs allow plug-ins.
I�d  like to add that all video editors like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut or
Avid come with a limited set in terms of effects and transitions. You have
to invest more to get those fancy things that you see in the Superball.

I insist that TGTools is the cheapest set of plug-ins available ever.
Period.

In many ways, Finale is analagous to other complex programs like Photoshop
or Quark XPress. These are expensive, powerful programs, but most users
find that a roster of third-party plugins make them that much more useful.
