Yeah, he has it and he's been using it for a few years now. I'm not sure exactly when he made the switch from manuscript to Finale, and I'm not sure how complete it is -- he may still do some scores by hand. But most of his recent compositions have Finale scores instead of manuscript scores.

McNeeley is using Finale now!?! - Yay!!!

sorry I couldn't resist, I've spent waaaay too many rehearsals trying to interpret his Rorschach-test manuscripts - one band I play with has (mostly jokingly) discussed donating him a copy - great composer - one of my favs - TC

I participate in the BMI jazz composers workshop in New York. Almost everyone in the workshop uses Finale (including the director, Jim McNeely), almost everyone writes pieces without key signatures that also involve chord symbols and transposing instruments, and *every* month, at *every* reading session, at least one person forgets about this bug (or didn't know about it in the first place) and hands out a transposed part with untransposed chord symbols, and the soloist enters in the wrong key.
