It's not just the dynamic parts. Going through Sib 4, I'm finding lots
of nice, little features Finale would do well to implement:
• Translucent palettes (or "tool windows" as Sibelius calls them)
• A program option to "Print Date and Time Footer" on all documents,
with the option to choose between the date of most recent printing, or
most recent saving.
• A user-configurable list of font equivalents, and the option to
choose which fonts should be used (in order of priority) if a specified
font is not available.
• Custom keyboard shortcut sets, with the ability to assign your own
shortcuts to any menu item or action.
• The ability to set separate colors and textures for score view vs.
parts view (I know some people will snicker at that, but it's actually
a helpful visual cue).
• AHA! There it is -- a checkbox for "View Parts In New Windows"! So
David, you *can* compare multiple parts side-by-side.
• An option to automatically check for maintenance updates.
• The ability to simply copy and paste the selected music directly
into other applications (like, say, Word) without having to export
graphics.
• The ability to add and edit the list of expressions recognized by
Espressivo (Sib's Human Playback equivalent).
And that's just from looking at the Preferences.
