Re: [Finale] 2007b is out

If you've kept a backup copy of the original Finale 2007, it will  
open the files created with 2007a.

anyone contacted MM about this? What do they have to say?


I'm in a mess, because I have to deliver files started in 2007!

How does one go back to 2007 from 2007a?

Re: [Finale] 2007b is out

2007-01-19 Thread Michael Cook
I'm not sure, but I think that hyphens in 2006a work as they do in  
2004. In 2006b a new bug appeared, that produced two undesirable  
effects:


1. When syllables got closer than a certain amount, the hyphens were  
too far to the right.
2. Hyphens no longer disappeared when the syllables were moved very  
close together.


This bug is still present in 2007 (original version). MakeMusic tried  
to correct the bug in 2007a, but the cure was worse than the illness:  
as you noticed, hyphens now disappear when they shouldn't, and if  
there is a hyphen at the end of a system, it's too near to the  
syllable it follows.


If you don't need very tight lyric spacing, 2007 (original version)  
should produce acceptable results.

Hi Michael,


To get correct hyphen placement suitable for a serious publisher, you
need to go back to 2006a or earlier.


I've just gone back to 2007 from 2007a, and this does solve some of  
the problems with hyphens, but not all. Could you tell me the  
improvements I could expect from 2006a over 2007 regarding  
hyphens (I downgraded directly

from 2004 to 2007, so I don't know how 2006 behaves)?


Hyphens have been a major problem since I started using Finale.  
It's quite pathetic to think that not only the old problems aren't  
solved, but each new version seems to introduce new bugs...

Did the 2006c update fix the hyphens, or was 2006c just a Mac thing?
Was there any major fix in 2006b compared to 2006a?
I may want to revert since I have a vocal project coming up.

Many thanks, Michael, for the details! Much appreciated.

I'll stick with 2007 for now (I don't have much choice). But I find all

Re: [Finale] 2007b is out

2007-01-18 Thread Michael Cook
After I ran the Mac 2007a updater, I ended up with one app called  
Finale 2007, which on closer inspection was indeed the updated  
version. I was happy to have kept a backup copy of the original 2007  
version: I renamed the updated version Finale 2007a and copied the  
backup copy of 2007 back into the Finale folder. When I ran the 2007b  
updater it replaced the version called Finale 2007 with the newer  
version, leaving untouched the one I had renamed as 2007a.


Now I have all three versions of Finale 2007. I am careful to keep  
these different versions because a newer version may introduce a  
newer bug. In the case of Finale 2007a, MakeMusic tried to correct a  
hyphen bug (hyphens not disappearing when syllables are close  
together) and in fact made matters worse, even introducing a new  
hyphen bug. 2007b hasn't made any change in this respect. Hyphens are  
a disaster in 2007a and 2007b, and in 2007 they're just about usable.  
To get correct hyphen placement suitable for a serious publisher, you  
need to go back to 2006a or earlier.

2007-01-17 Thread Darcy James Argue
The other kind of annoying thing is that the installer creates an app  
called Finale 2007 instead of Finale 2007b, breaking a longtime  
Finale convention. What happens if you upgrade directly from Fin2007  
(not Fin2007a)? Does it replace the old version?


I would actually be in favor of NOT appending a, b, etc to the  
filename, provided this was done consistently, and that the Finale  
maintenance updates would actually UPDATE the app instead of creating  
a duplicate. I know some people on the list don't like that idea, but  
since that's how every other piece of software on the market behaves,  
I don't have a lot of sympathy for that view.


If someone *really* wants to preserve their copy of Fin2007a before  
upgrading to Fin2007b, that's easily done. But it's always confusing  
and annoying for Mac users to have to replace the Finale 2007 icon in  
their Dock or launcher with the more recent version, and update their  
QuicKeys/iKey sets to recognize the new app name, etc, every time a  
maintenance update is released. I don't know of any other software  
company that issues a maintenance update that leaves the original,  
non-updated app in place.

The other kind of annoying thing is that the installer creates an app

Finale convention.

This is a Mac thing, FYI. Every single version of WinFin has always 
been called just 'Finale.exe'.


I don't know of any other software
company that issues a maintenance update that leaves the original,
non-updated app in place.

I'm glad to hear you say that, Darcy. I had seen some of the 
complaints here before, and I thought it was just a Mac thing -- that 
Mac upgraders generally leave the original app in place. They 
certainly don't on Win, and never have.

I should add that the other really stupid thing about Fin2007b is 
that they seem to have wrapped it up with the Fin2007a updater, which 
is no longer available on the site. I know that this makes it a 
little easier for those who have not yet updated to 2007a, but those 
of us who have now have to download an enormous update (68MB Win / 
104MB Mac) and apply it just to get a minor update.


I guess if you don't need the Rebar Music functionality you might 
want to avoid this update.

Thanks for that head's up, Aaron.I'm not about to go through yet another 
gigantic download after the amount of time 2007a took. And yeah, dialup 
does suck for those of us with no alternative

One might have thought our little pals at MM might have considered a more 
elegant update, or at least one worth the time, all things considered.   Rebar 
functionality?Who needs it!?

You wouldn't say that if you had a cracked dam 100 feet from the house like
we do. :)

Nice one, Dennis -- but really?   What's the story?   If so, I hope the dam is 
100 feet DOWNSTREAM from the house!

And in the meanwhile, I'll try to refrain from whistling Coates' Dambusters 
March.
