The best
you could hope for is Fin2k9.
Unfortunately my hopes are really low.
So are mine.
I'm a low-need user -- really! I want just one thing: the ability to
create a score accurately and easily. There are things I'd like (linked
parts when they're workable for the stuff I do), but I can live without
them if I can have the ability to create the score in a native (kludge-
and bug-free) way that works consistently and without failure.
Creating a score means it must be nearly bug-free. The burgeoning bugs
are absolutely destructive to effective work, and when I was finally hit
with the enharmonic-flipping bug last week, it doubled the time it took
to finish a score. Unacceptable.
So Finale 2K9 has to be the bug-fix version, or 2K7 is my
end-of-the-road for Finale. It doesn't necessarily mean moving to
Sibelius -- it means stopping at 2K7.
If all these nasty and frequently experienced bugs are squashed, then
for me the existing tools must be improved to create the full range of
notational aspects that have been missing (or unimproved) since the
early 1990s (I started with FinWin 2.2).
Finale 2009 = bug-fix version, Finale 2010 = tool-completion version.
Then maybe new features.
