Sibelius stealing "our" thunder like that. I think we came up with
an excellent plan for dynamic score-part linking in Finale (one that,
I should add, looks very very similar to the one Sibelius
implemented), and it is disappointing that Sibelius got there first.
Darcy, you must be aware that Sibelius read this list and the
Makemusic forums. (I know this from first-hand experience, trust me).
Of course -- in fact, I suspect I had the same first-hand experience
with Sibelius staff as you did.
So all of our discussions, while fruitful, in fact probably did a
lot of work for Sibelius. Hence the similarities... Mind you it's a
public list, so they're perfectly entitled to do so.
Well, sure. I'm not saying Sibelius did anything wrong, quite the
contrary. On one level, I'm very excited to see Sibelius implement
this feature, and may even purchase Sib 4 so I can try it out. It also
makes it much more likely that Finale will implement Dynamic Parts now
that the competition has it.
On the other level, it *is* very frustrating to know that Finale had
the opportunity to introduce this exciting feature before Sibelius, but
they blew it.
