Hi John, You need to understand the facts on the ground here. MakeMusic has had a yearly release schedule since 1996. Finale 2011 was just released. It does not support Unicode. The next major release will be Finale 2012, which will most likely be released 11 months from now. In all likelihood, that is the earliest that a major new feature like Unicode support could conceivably be introduced.
