Nor I. I've gone to the Finale forum twice, ever. I loathe forums. Slow,
unwieldy, and I have to go to them. The only time I use other forums is to
solve a specific problem with a specific piece of software, usually once, and
that's usually register, post, wait, hope someone knows something, give up. I
know with this list I'll get professional responses from knowledgeable people.

Does Finale have a Facebook page for discussion? I use groups there, and being
combined in one communications platform, it's fairly easy. If this is a hint
that the list is going, I'd prefer to move there. That's what I did when I
closed our Vermont Composers mailing list.

As for Finale itself dying, I don't know and hope not. Nothing good enough has
come along to replace it for my work. Sibelius is even more traditional than
Finale is trying to be, and that's the wrong direction for me for both of
them. (I have Sibelius but only use it to open student work. I've never
actually done anything with it.)
