This forum is not a focus group. It seems to me the majority of people here are long-term users who are content with the mode of operation that has existed for over a decade. So I have no interest in a one-sided discussion that will inevitably be a list of reasons why "it can't be done." If Finale wanted to convent a focus group, I would be happy to share my thoughts that are based on 50 years as a musician and 40 years involvement in complex software design, including innovative user interfaces.
I stand by my statement that (almost) everything about the notation process can and should be made at least an order of magnitude more intuitive and productive. A big exception to that is the managed parts feature. I think they did a very nice job with that concept. There is room for refinements, but not a magnitude improvement.
