We just learned about a potential bug in using Finale's Reference
Manual (or whatever it's called) for 2k8, from Daniel Spreadbury on
one of the Sibelius Lists. I'll let David Bailey explain it, since
he seems to understand it and I'm not sure I do, but it seems that
MakeMusic may have turned to HTML software for 2k8 that Sibelius has
DROPPED because it was too buggy and unsupported. One symptom seems
to be that it can only function in certain specific browsers.
Daniel, by the way, works for Sibelius (and wrote the Manual if I
understand correctly), monitors the List, and answers questions
freely and honestly, explaining how to do something for newbies, why
something else can't be done (yet), or whether it may be in the queue
for a future improvement. He explained WHY they've switched from
HTML to PDF. It's refreshingly honest and hands-on Customer Service
by someone who obviously cares about both his product and his
customers, something that MM might do well to adopt instead of
hunkering down and hiding.
