Sort of a "wait, wait, don't jump ship yet, we really will have a new version coming. Someday." There was nothing at all of any substance beside the version number. It will be interesting to see how frequently they send out similar messages which might actually include real information to help whet our appetites to know what might actually be coming. I'm not holding my breath, though. -- * David H.

Re: [Finale] Finale version 26
What's to discuss? So far, all we have is a version number and press release puffery.

[Finale] Finale version 26
I am surprised there has not been any discussion of Finale's "preview" of Version 26: https://www.finalemusic.com/blog/coming-soon-finale-version-26/ There are no details in the announcement, but some broad characterizations: "Generally speaking, improvements will focus on streamlining your workflow and will begin with the time it takes to install and get up and running with the new version. You’ll enjoy smarter default engraving, performance enhancements, new features, bug fixes, and refinements to included resources such as templates and libraries." --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ 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
