Yes, but it's hardly a reason to upgrade -- I've used it TWICE in 15 years. > The bug you reported with saving libraries I believe is fixed also, > but I have never experienced it, so I cannot tell. Not according to what other people said in postings on the list, unless I misinterpreted them. > There were some changes to the copying behaviour as well, but I didn't > follow your thread on it, so I cannot tell whether your particular > problem was fixed. Robert Patterson says many of the known problems remain, while many of the other problems I've encountered seem to stem from Finale's inability to properly convert its old files to new versions (e.g., lack of copying of cautionary accidentals from a file that was converted to WinFin2K3 from an earlier version). Now, since people using the Latest And Greatest Finale 2005 have not tested those files, it could be that the problems are fixed, but it doesn't seem likely, given the number of things (like clef copying) that remain unfixed for many versions. > I can't remember what else you complained about.

I thought the topic of discussion was whether or not they were current or not. Design decision or bug, most of them remain unchanged in the most recent version of Finale, which means my complaints remain current. -- David W.
