Friends:
This exchange leads me to pose the following questions: DO WE HANG OUT
ON ANY OF FINALE'S "LESSER-KNOWN CORNERS? IF SO, HOW MUCH?
Please consider:
1. The ossia tool
2. The mirror tool
3. The tempo tool
4. The MIDI tool
============
5. The rhyming dictionary
6. The Band-in-a-Box harmonizer.
I've used the Ossia tool 2 or 3 times. It used to be essential, despite
its awkwardness, but improvements to the Layout, Measure, and Speedy
tools over the years have left it virtually useless in its current
form.
I've used the MIDI tool maybe twice.
The others I've never used, and have no use for.
Add to the list: the Nontraditional Key Signature algorithm. This is
essential when needed, but hasn't been changed a lick since Finale 1.0
and is very user-unfriendly. I've been bugging Coda/MakeMusic for years
to improve the thing, but for obvious reasons it's always remained a
low priority for them.
