I'm very happy with Finale but I am increasingly being given Sibelius files to work with and so am seriously considering buying Sibelius as well. This offer, if, as someone has suggested, applies to older versions of Finale, sounds very attractive but I don't want to give up my current Finale.
(I currently have the demo version of Sib 6 and, in my inexperience, am finding it very, very difficult to use. The demo instruction book seems to offer less help than I would like. As I said, I am very inexperienced so it's probably my fault) Lawrence 2010/1/10 dhbailey <dhbai...@davidbaileymusicstudio.com> > Jari Williamsson wrote: > >> dhbailey wrote: >> >> I wonder if Finale ever offers a reduction in the crossgrade (they call >>> it a competitive upgrade) price of $199. >>> >> >> But, if I haven't misunderstand something, the costs if you want to share >> notation data back and forth are: >> Finale: $199 + $0 >> That other app: $129+$199 (for either the Dolet or PDFtoMusic addition). >> >> > That's true -- however there isn't a great way to get the music from one to > the other (despite how close MusicXML comes, there is still a lot of > tweaking to do) so I've found that the best way to continue to work is that > projects begun in Finale are completed in Finale and projects begun in > Sibelius are completed in Sibelius. > > > > -- > David H.
