I have recently completed a conversation with Makemusic to the effect that Allow Redraw Interrupt is gone for good on both platforms. Not only is this amazing to me. (It reflects an utter incomprehension of how Finale's users actually have to use the program.) It is also a bitter disappointment, because for large scores the new features simply are not worth the (approximately and not-at-all exaggerated) ten-fold increase in redraw times.[snip]
It is hard for me to imagine how Finale can continue to attract customers if its developers are willing to confiscate such a fundamentally necessary feature.
I am stunned by this news. The slow redraw in FinMac 2004 OS 9 is already a deal breaker for me, but I never imagined that it would go unfixed.
Did you get the impression that Makemusic was pursuing other ways of compensating for the slow redraw?
In FinMac 2003 screen redraws aren't even necessary after most dialog boxes. It is like they appear on a different layer that doesn't interfere with the musical graphics. Is this no longer an option for the programmers?
Say it ain't so!
