I second this opinion. I have a little sense of MM's schedule.
Surely, right now they are working on the 2006 maintenance update.
As soon as they are done with that, work will start on 2007, and
they'll start with the issues which have been raised early and often.
I have asked for Patterson Beams to be included in Document Options
(probably not too difficult a request to answer). If others feel
that this would be a useful convenience, please write MM.
Thanks,
Chuck

You really need to raise this issue with MakeMusic now because they
may already have the list of what features they'll add, which long-
standing bugs they'll try to fix, which new bugs they'll try to
fix, which long-standing broken aspects of the program they'll try
to repair, which Sibelius 4 features they'll want to incorporate (I
bet they're sweating Dynamic Parts right now), which features they
feel will give them the edge over Sibelius once again.
Wait much longer and you'll be asking for Fin2008 features!

Hi all,
now we got Finale 2006, we could begin to find out what we think
we need in the next version or an update.
While I like the mixer possibilities, they are not of much use as
long as you cannot combine the new sounds with human playback,
and, even worse, as you can't save wav-Files or something using
the sounds. I guess this will be made possible by a contact player
update?
My priorities:
EPS-export. This must, and I hope, will be possible (again)!
A better File format or import/export filters that allow you to
open and save between versions, I mean, also from the newer to the
older version.
I'm working on a book where some of my co-autors only have Finale
2005. Because EPS on WinXP does not work, someone on Mac will have
to do all the music examples again... (we work with Tiffs for a
workaround, but finally (,-) with EPS
I have no problems in Microsoft word between platforms and
versions. How about Finale, too? I don't mind if the new features
are not support in the older programs, of course, just get the
important stuff through.
I don't need a lot of the features added in the last few versions,
I can do everything I need to do, but these two things would
really make my life easier.
I'm sure you have also wishes and priorities. Why not share them?
And why not, finally - ask Coda/MakeMusic to make them true?
