I'm hoping that continued success of SmartMusic and also encouraging results with Finale such as this last quarter will mean extra development resources, and will be better in all respects. What is absolutely critical IMHO is that while it continues to expand, they get a far better grip on the GUI, layout of menus, more consistent use of keystrokes and continue to address the learning curve. Finale's greatest weaknesses IMHO are it's learning curve (being addressed), it's failure to address known issues and, partly as result of its own depth, a complex GUI and myriad of finicky (and much needed!) preferences that utterly bamboozle new users. -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art Real-time Finale discussion - http://www.finaleirc.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
