Hi there: I originally wrote this the other day:
Though I cannot afford to do so yet, I am wondering about upgrading
from my version (FinMac 2000c) which won't even run in Classic but
requires I boot in OS9. I have a sense that the current version for
Macintosh is rather buggy, and so I'd like to know what is the
received wisdom about the value of upgrading (I am a pretty
lightweight user), or maybe there's even a way to upgrade to a less
elderly version that isn't actually the current version?
I will check out eBay for "semi-upgrades," but in poking around the
Finale site I think I am seeing more options than I remember, not so
much for prior versions of Finale but of other options, namely
MakeMusic and Allegro. Their site does not seem to include any kind of
A/B/C comparison of what's there and what's missing among these three,
or a sensible explanation of what each does or does not do; I have not
found the overviews that useful. Could someone please summarize for
me, or point me to where such a summary might be? I use so little of
what Finale does that I wonder if I should just get one of those
boiled-down versions rather than stick with the high-priced spread.
Don't forget that my hardware (see below) is pretty aged, too (and I
do not have any MIDI capability).
As always my thanks in advance.

My system is not very far ahead of your own, and I am sticking with
Fin2005b for the foreseeable future (on 10.3.9)
It's stable, not too buggy, and fast enough for what I have to do
(unless Finale has been open for days, then it gets slow.) You are
going to LOVE auto-placed expressions!
