John,
Sibelius does not include separate "classical" and "jazz" saxophones
either. In fact, it does not include separate saxophones, period --
just tenor sax.
So because the competition doesn't do something, Finale is off the hook?
I do realize that when the competition DOES do something, we expect,
hope, pray that Finale might follow suit, but I'm not quite sure that
since the competition doesn't do something, it's alright for Finale not
to do it.
What ever happened to Finale trying to be a market LEADER (which by
definition means doing something FIRST), instead of being a follower?
Do you mean to imply that if I can convince Sibelius to improve their
soundset, that Finale will follow suit and that by complaining to
