Michael Good, current V.P. of technology, is staying on, which is a good 
thing.

As to dumping Karen VanDerBosch, I must say that the releases of Finale 
which have come during her tenure have not been the best, so that might 
not be a bad thing.  Just reading the complaints recently about people 
having to do some work in 2012 then move to 2014 for other work to avoid 
the 2012 bugs and then having to revert back to 2012 to avoid the 2014 
bugs makes me wonder whether MakeMusic even has a debugging department 
any more.

After this merger with TrainingPeaks?  The "c" release may work only if 
you're using Finale on a notebook while cross-training for a Ironman 
triathlon!

I sure hope that Daniel Spreadbury and the development team at Steinberg 
get their notation product to market soon -- What with Sibelius's 
unstable future as part of Avid and now this merging of notation 
software with athletic training software (how can that possibly 
succeed?!?) I am very fearful for the future of notation software.

Maybe newly unemployed notation software people will start to put their 
skills to use to improve MuseScore to spite their former employers!

The quote I've pasted below from this article makes me wonder whether

At least Michael Good is staying on with the company, and I know he has 
music notation software as a major focus, having been working for a long 
time to get MusicXML to be the "lingua franca" of music software.

I sure hope they let him continue to work on improving Finale!  I hope 
that the major focus of MakeMusic isn't further put on SmartMusic, which 
is an alright program but has no use for me.

“Our vision is to provide the platforms by which performers and 
instructors can work to perfect their crafts,” Andy Stephens, chairman 
of MakeMusic and Peaksware, said in a statement. “Both TrainingPeaks and 
MakeMusic have already helped countless people achieve mastery. Working 
together under the Peaksware umbrella, they will be able to reach even 
more.”

Re: [Finale] MakeMusic joins Peaksware

2014-08-07 Thread David H. Bailey 
The first press release mentions that PeaksWare's program TrainingPeaks 
has something to do with endurance training -- I think that we veteran 
Finale users know a lot about endurance training, given all the 
long-standing bugs we've had to endure as well as the new ones that have 
been introduced with each new release.

So in that regard nothing should change.  :-)

Seriously, though, I'm not quite sure what benefits an athletic training 
assistance company can bring to a music notation program or a music 
accompaniment program.  I can see how there might be some advantage in 
the training field for SmartMusic ("How To Train For a Week-Long 
Wagner-Fest" or some such) but for music notation?

I hope that the new corporate umbrella thing will allow the MakeMusic 
developers adequate development dollars to fix the problems while moving 
ahead into the future.

Only time will tell.

Gear said. “People that do endurance sports have quite a connection with 
musicians, as it turns out. The skill and expertise just morphs from the music 
side to the sports side. We don’t have any professional musicians on staff, but 
there are a couple of customer support employees that play in bands, and we 
certainly share a passion and interest for it.”

Wow.  That parent company has absolutely nothing to do with music.  They

notice that they are dumping the whole MakeMusic management team, or so

That's a hell of a way to end the company.  Put it under control of a 
person who thinks writing a symphony is simply a matter of getting 
enough reps.

That's really disgusting.

By "won't insert measures" bug do you mean it crashes when you insert
(exactly) one measure? I used to have that problem, but since the last
Fin12 update I rarely if ever see it. And when I did, all I needed to do
was insert more than one and delete the extras.

I'm also avoiding Fin14. Not enough there to tempt me to put up with the
hassles. Maybe there will be a c release that's better.

Re: [Finale] MakeMusic joins Peaksware

2014-08-06 Thread Chuck Israels 
I'm going to pop in here just to say that I have had problems with 2014 that 
make it unusable for me.  Two things continue to happen: Finale loses its 
ability to undo, and I have navigation issues that seem insurmountable.  
(Delayed response in horizontal navigation and then over shoot - impossible for 
me to control and a complete deal breaker.)  MM support has been kind and their 
best people have spent hours with me - even screen sharing, but in the end, 
they don't solve the problems.  They have some of my files that exhibit this 
behavior, so I assume they are working on it, but even in  what seems to me 
should be frank conversation, they don't admit to the extend of the bugs.  

I am surprised that no one else here has experienced similar 2014 behavior, 
because I don't think my set up is unusual.  My engraver friends won't touch 
2014, and I am simply counting it as wasted money and waiting for next year.

2012 does what I need, although there is room for things to be easier and 
better.

My 2C.

Chuck

I would keep using 2012, too, except for the occasional "won't insert
measures" bug which is really frustrating when it pops up.

Here's a quote from the Sibelius blog that makes me think their long term
plans are in the education and learning worlds and not the professional
musician world. I'm going to be hanging on to 2012 for dear life :)
