Umm, am I the only one to whom it has occurred that at the very

will serve all possible uses just isn't realistic. There's no
question but that they belonged in the orchestral set of samples.
Somebody dropped the ball, or wasn't thinking in real world terms.
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?
David, I would like Finale to include GPO saxophones in the next
release, and I think they will. I don't think it's reasonable for them
to include this in a maintenance release, which is supposed to be
focused on bugfixes. I'm certainly not saying I think Finale should
*never* include GPO saxophones.
However, the whole point of this discussion has been a comparison
between Finale's and Sibelius's playback features. You said earlier:
Actually, Finale is only leagues ahead of Sibelius in terms of
playback with included 3rd-party add-on, and then only for those who
are orchestrally inclined, not for those who work in the band, jazz
band, marching band fields.
That's simply false.
