I can guess -- MakeMusic's big money-maker isn't Finale, it's the SmartMusic accompaniment system with its subscriptions. My guess is that they have gutted the development team for Finale and placed them in the development for SmartMusic.

There is no other possible explanation, since, as you say, there must be off-the-shelf PostScript modules they could license.

With FinWin2k4 previous and new problems, in multiple, confusing
combinations have surfaced and we are doing our e-mail dance with fonts,
settings, previews, Acrobat, GhostView, etc.

I am not asking the list to help with solutions, but I am curious about
this: Can anyone speculate about WHY this whole topic is such a problem for
the Finale developers? After all, it seems that, if a program can print
reliably to many different printers, and if PostScript is a well-known and
documented format, and if many other applications can routinely export
PostScript, it should be a matter of simply using 'off-the-shelf' modules to
produce robust PostScript. Why isn't it?
