I set it to "chromatic" and it plans as before, which is preferable in this case. Thanks for that tip. One of the bug fixes involved the criss-crossed use of two different MIDI controllers (I think these affected volume and not pitch), so it seems they were in that area of code at least to some extent. >> but they didn't fix the main HP bugs >> that have to do with note-on/off timing. > I haven't tested it myself yet.

I have not tested this personally and am relying on a (reliable) user who posted at the Finale forum. The reality here is that this is essentially a new company and mostly a new set of developers inheriting a huge and quite complex code base. Having done that a few times in my career, I can tell you this is really scary. Coincidentally, Sibelius was in exactly the same position. The Sibelius people opted to not touch the main code and to put out a "7.5" that was almost entirely cosmetic. It was a "statement of support" but not real support. The Finale people wanted to demonstrate something a little more substantial, and took an extra 18 months for that. I can't say which strategy was correct. The fact is that there are still big bugs needing fixes and important improvements needed. At this stage we have more evidence that the Finale people can make improvements than we have from the Sibelius people. But if we are looking at another 18 months before the next set of bug fixes, that will be really disappointing. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
