Fin2k6 is IMO very significant. It's not just GPO, it's Studio View,
the mixer, the improved Human Playback, etc -- these are all very big

if you don't care about playback, then these features may not be of
interest, but most users do care about playback, and this is a huge
step forward in that area. IMO, this continues the trend of the
even-numbered upgrades being major releases (Fin2000, Fin2002, Fin2004,
and now Fin2006), with the odd-numbered upgrades containing mostly
bugfix releases and minor tweaks (Fin2001, Fin2003, Fin2005).

Darn it! And here I was looking forward to getting something major in Finale
2007 like parts linked to score. I guess I'll have to wait until Finale 2008
(unless everyone's switched to Sibelius by then.)
I think they could simply muck about with the code for Special Part
Extraction and end up with essentially the same thing Sibelius has,
saving the data for each part in some new data section only related to
Special Part Extraction, which would accomplish exactly the same thing.
So it might be possible for MakeMusic to actually implement something
like Dynamic Parts and still consider it a minor tweak, so it could
still come in Finale2007.
Hope springs eternal, you know. :-)
