I have just learned of the acquisition by PeaksWear, which has that rich smell of week-old roadkill all over it. At first, my suspicion is that someone was selling the software to the highest bidder… though I've long wondered whether the user-base is just not large enough to sustain the company: that MakeMusic has been grappling with its business structure for nearly two years now makes that clear. If those responsible for accepting the offer cared at all about the user-base, would it not have been better to suffer through bankruptcy? Finale is widely used by professionals, and I wonder whether any businesses in the professional music world looked into MakeMusic as an acquisition? The press release was appalling to read: the investors are clearly not involved in music in even a casual way, and sound as though they have some simple fantasy for it that will utterly ruin MakeMusic's achievement within a few years. While I've never felt there was enough of a musically-minded presence on the other side of MakeMusic's Kafkesque castle walls, this new situation would leave even Kubrick at a loss. Has anyone reading here written the administration of the company with their concerns for the future of the company? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
