I would be curious to find out how many on this list regularly make use of Finalescript.
So would I, in fact, what would this be used for? I can't see a use for it for my own projects, though I am sure someone will point out something to me.
I'm not sure what you mean about the "new expressions tool" -- what have I missed? It seems to function the same as before with a few added things such as the description column so we can keep various instances of what appears to be the same expression separate. That is an incremental improvement which hasn't given me a huge increase in time savings.
Automatic defined positioning! Differently defined for note-attached or measure-attached! And in so many useful ways that I haven't yet missed an ability to place an expression that I needed. And you can edit the default placement with the contextual menu, which saves a couple of steps over entering a dummy expression. Entering correctly-positioned dynamics, for example, is easily twice as fast as before, if not more. Rehearsal letters likewise.
Playback definition so much clearer to use that I actually use it. Multiline expressions! Mixed fonts and kerning in the same expression (though you still can't centre-justify a multi-line expression.) WYSIWYG representation in the edit window.
Well, I could go on, but as you probably noticed, this is the new feature that I liked the most of all.
