I'm surprised that this dynamic part linking issue is suddenly such a big deal to everybody. Like I said in an earlier post, MOTU's Mosaic had that feature, and if MOTU hadn't completely abandoned that program, I would never have bought Finale. I've always missed this feature since coming to Finale. But until this announcement from Sibelius, I don't remember anybody making much of a fuss about dynamic parts on this list. Now all of a sudden almost everybody wants this feature, and claim to have wanted it all along. I'll tell you this. Since getting on the Finale bandwagon, I've tried to be a loyal user, resisting the urge to jump ship and go with Sibelius, even though I have clients who would like me to do so. But this dynamic parts feature is awfully appealing to me--enough so that I may just have to bite the bullet and make that jump to Sibelius.
It's been discussed here before at length before and was generally agreed to be a good thing, but we got no response on the feasibility of it from MakeMusic, other than polite "thanks, we'll pass it on to the developpers."
It was recently revealed on this list that we almost got it a short while ago but development was pulled on it in favor of other things which would hopefully appeal to a broader user base.
Now that we have seen how Sibelius has done it (very elegantly from what I've seen of the demo) and we know it can be done, we're clamoring for it more.
