Friends... A while back someone posted about the "hidden corners" of Finale, which led me to pose a question about your forays into those areas. The responses were interesting and enlightening. The recent posts about certain "features" lead me, then, to the following questions: 1. WHAT "ADD-ONS" DO YOU USE? a.The Band-in-a-Box Harmonizer? b.The rhyming dictionary? c.The marching percussion? d.The exercises/exercise wizard? e.GPO? f.Finale Performance Assessment? g.Scanning? h.Creation of Smart Music accompaniments? i.Composer's Assistant? j.FinaleScript? k.MIBAC Rhythm Section Generator? l.Anything like these that I might have overlooked? 2. How often do you use them? 3. Was any of them a "deal-maker" for your purchase of Finale? 4. How do you rate the quality of those features you use or tried to use? I'll start. *I already owned GPO, so that point is moot. *I tried the Auto-Harmonizer twice and was thoroughly underwhelmed--not ready for prime-time. *I tried scanning a couple things--worked ok for some simple stuff, but not otherwise worth the time or effort *I wanted to try some FinaleScript, but LAST I LOOKED (which was a while ago) it was a "teach yourself" project for which I simply lacked time. It's supposed to be a time saver, but I lacked the time to invest in mastering it. Is that different in 2006?
