Reading MakeMusic's 2006 Annual report is interesting

I would say that SmartMusic is indeed, for better or worse, their focus
now, even though Finale seems to make them more money.

This indeed is very disturbing news -- why a company would take a
(until recently) perfectly good working tool in an application, one
which many people have grown to depend upon, and which even the
company used to tout as the preferred tool for anything other than
novice or very casual users, and then intentionally phase it out
escapes my ability to understand.
But that does explain why they haven't jumped to fix that 9-key
enharmonic flip bug.
It seems as if MakeMusic has been taken over by employees whose mantra
is "Let's find every possible method we can to drive our long-time
users over to Sibelius. And by making a less serious effort in the
educational marketplace so that Sibelius completely takes that over,
we can finally get rid of the nuisance called Finale and concentrate
on our first-love, SmartMusic."
