Imagine how much easier much of this whole music/notation/entry/balance/midi-data mixture would be if we could click an icon and the sequencer screen would appear, with all its menus (including piano-roll editing) and controllers and mixer capabilities, and clicking on another icon would switch back to the traditional Finale screen we all know and love.
It could be a terrific marriage, and the sequencer wouldn't need all the bells and whistles of modern sequencers, no audio capabilities, just midi, but with the ability to import/export sysex data, use graphic controller adjustments. Something like the very inexpensive PowerTracks from PGMusic (they'd have to increase their track capability from the current 64 track limit), but incorporated into Finale.
What a super megaprogram that would be, and it would resolve a lot of those "Finale can ALMOST do this . . ." situations such as Darcy has run into with his attempt to get well-balanced playback.
David,
That sounds like a great idea, but there is the specter of Finale becoming bloated when all the good ideas are implemented. Maybe a sequencer could replace the Transcription Tool. I'd be interested to know how many regular users of Finale make use of that tool.
