Some people may be interested that Overture has a new release: http://sonicscores.com/overture/
I haven't seen a side-by-side feature comparison. I assume there are plenty of major notation differences that would cause most Finale users to not look seriously at a switch. I would note, however: 1) Unlike Sibelius and Finale, this actually represents a very big enhancement for Overture, not just a few near-trivial features and fixes. 2) Like Presonus/Notion, Overture is putting a really big emphasis on the playback side, providing much better MIDI editing, VST support and DAW-style control than you get with either Finale or Sibelius. They have also added some basic support for touch screens. You cannot enter music or articulations, but you can do scrolling and zooming with gestures. That's a start. The whole universe of "Music Technology" is evolving rapidly. Notation no longer stands on its own in most university environments. Finale would be wise to take note of these developments with Overture and Notion. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: [email protected]
