Greetings, list. I've been out of the Finale world for awhile, but now that I'm upgrading my ChordSymbol font, I'm wondering what the status of Unicode support is. I see that it is not supported in Finale 2010. Will it be added for Finale 2011? If a support rep or product manager wishes to reply privately, I'd appreciate that. Or I may get in touch directly soon, also about the possibility of bundling my Unicode font with Finale once you finally make that leap. I hope to make ChordSymbol 2 the "gold standard" among music-analysis and lead-sheet fonts. Music theorists have always sworn by ChordSymbol 1, and I'm hoping that commercial music arrangers will equally value the new font, with its full set of commercial chord symbols--not handwritten, as in the existing Finale fonts, but properly set in Times New Roman. In the meantime, I will create three separate TrueType fonts that Finale users may find useful: - RomanNumerals, for roman-numeral analysis; - BassFigures, for figured bass (featuring slashed figures in any conce ivable combination and all needed accessories such as the little plusses); and - JazzSymbol, for pop/rock/jazz/theater music. I expect to roll out this font package for Windows and Mac within about two weeks, as the main Unicode font, which features over 1000 special symbols, is finished, and it will not take long to derive the subset fonts therefrom. Please feel free to direct inquiries to my personal email address--most sales will be done by email (paying using PayPal) until we can get our web site, _www.virtualconservatory.com_ (http://www.virtualconservatory.com) , updated with the needed functionality. Thanks and cheers, jrc
