does every version have to be "innovative"?  hm, 
innovative means "new" apparently.  how much more 
"new" shit do you think can really be crammed 
into a mature notation programme today without 
first vastly improving the frame all this stuff 
you want needs to carry it?

there were some serious improvements that are 
well worth the money for the upgrade (i haven't 
yet only for reasons of system change and 
software i would then also have to upgrade and 
loss of eudora etc. etc.) -- as you point out. 
but in the rest of your message, you sound like 
someone who needs a finale water bottle ® with 
your upgrade or some sparkly new button that does 
essentially nothing new or better than the old 
one.  sorry, not me.  i have been dreaming of a 
ground-up makeover for years.

craig, man, turn down the doomsday rhetoric and 
"double down" into some real facts please. :-)
