Noel (and Johannes) -
This sounds like good advice. I'll have plenty to do until then just
getting comfortable in the program. Not to speak of all the projects I
have to keep going alongside that process. I'll be keeping close watch
around the time you say, I appreciate that information.
(The whole issue of the ability to create retro-compatible files is an
interesting one. I'm curious why the developers of Finale chose not to
take that route. However, for me it's not a big issue. Sibelius does
it, but I rarely ever use it.)
To be fair, Sibelius ONLY has added that feature with version 3, and it
only includes the option to save in one previous version, version 2, NOT
version 1.
So while Sibelius have bowed to customers' wishes to be able to share
files with people who haven't upgraded, they still can't share files
with EVERYBODY who hasn't upgraded.
And Sibelius readily admits that there are some things which won't be
saved when the file is saved in the previous version, so if you need
those features (aren't the boomwhacker colored notes one of those
features?) in your file, it is still not helpful.
