[Mariposa Symphony Orchestra]

Normally the MM-skeptic, I must say I'll be right up there waving my wallet at the front of the line for this upgrade; the linked parts/score feature is (for me) well worth the price of admission alone.    Provided, of course, it actually works.   And provided, of course, the entire upgrade ain't buggier than a porchlight in August.    Oh.   I guess I am still the MM-skeptic, but even so, I'll bite at this one.....   Best,    Les Les Marsden Founding Music Director and Conductor, The Mariposa Symphony Orchestra Music and Mariposa?  Ahhhhh, Paradise!!!   http://arts-mariposa.org/symphony.html http://www.sierratel.com/mcf/nprc/mso.htm http://www.geocities.com/~jbenz/lesbio.html   ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Smith To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 3:14 PM Subject: Re: [Finale] Finale 2007 On Jun 27, 2006, at 5:48 PM, Owain Sutton wrote: > Put me in the cynic camp.... > > > "Authorization Improvements" are NOT a feature. > > The group/bracket stuff seems more like bug-fix level stuff than real > advances.  As does the cross-staff implementation, especially the > augmentation dots ('Enhanced default positioning' my arse, it's just > that it's now correct)  And I definitely always saw vertical collision > issues as a problem with buggy software, rather than as a > feature-in-waiting. > > "Enharmonic Spelling in Chromatically Transposed Parts".  Ten quid says > it still screws up quarter-tones. > > "Updated Playback Controls" - woo hoo!  Lets party like it's Win 98!! > I'm happy to see some plain old bugs fixed. Let them stick out their chests and brag about it - it's what we've all been screaming for now for quite a while. Christopher
