Neglect? There seems to be an unpleasant subtext is some of these messages... I just want to make sure it's understood that for some of us backwards compatibility is not merely an issue of convenience or neglect. Some customers will not "upgrade" for these incremental upgrades that Finale sells as full upgrades, and some customers will not "upgrade" to victimware until it is absolutely unavoidable. There is very little beyond user convenience that can't still be done in Finale 2.2. Until Finale revokes their victimware scheme and until they provide a full, functioning upgrade with the major broken areas fixed (among them the Postscript issues), I will be one of Brian Williams's despised "@#$%*! composers" who remains with Finale 2003 -- and continue shopping for alternatives. By creating victimware, they destroyed in one stroke my ten years of customer loyalty. If they want my money this time, they'll have to give me good reason to hand it over.
