Good explanation Tyler ... now, how do you feel about the GPO sounds?
Are they as good as the samples provided on the MM site, or not? And
if not, what gives? Also, I've just received the following message:
Dear Finale Macintosh Customer;
In a previous e-mail we informed you of an upgrade installation problem
with Finale 2006. In that e-mail we described how to remove a folder
from your Macintosh before running the installer. Since then we have
created a small program that will automatically find and delete the
folder for you. Again, this MUST be run BEFORE you run the Finale 2006
installer. In order for this pre-installer to work properly you must
quit all running applications prior to installation.
If you haven't already deleted this folder, you can download this
program, the Pre-installer for Finale 2006, and run it from your
desktop. It will only take a few seconds.
Select the link below to download.
I downloaded this and activated it, as I have not yet installed my
2006, though it is sitting by my side as I write. I got a message that
my system didn't need the pre-installer's benefit. Should I trust this
and go ahead with installation ... even if so many are disappointed
with GPO sounds?

True? No? What's the
concensus?
I won't say they're no better, but I surely don't
understand the fuss
unless you are using Finale strictly as a sequencer.
In that case,
maybe that last 1% of realism is worth it, but I
cannot understand why
anybody using Finale to compose or arrange music
would want to spend
even an extra 10 minutes fussing with GPO -- let
alone the hours that it
will actually take.
I've never really considered Finale a serious
sequencer program. Maybe
if I change my outlook on that, I would also think
differently about
GPO. But fundamentally I have a dim view of
technology that is so
distracting that you can barely remember the art you
were trying to create.
Hi Craig,
Darcy mentioned it, but I just want to make sure you
caught it. For new compositions that you create with
the setup wizard, you don't have to do any GPO setup.
It's automatically done (and that's a major part of
the integration). For older files, yes, you will have
to spend some time converting them over.
Tyler
