Justin, I notice you said you wanted to hear feedback about new features and improvements. Sorry to come down hard on you, but what most of us on this list are wringing our hands over are NOT more new features, but fixing the bugs that cost us so much in lost time. Some are longstanding

Oh boy. I hope this won't get ugly, because we all need a lot of good will between Finale users and MakeMusic. Justin, you might not realize it, but you just pored gas over a burning fire. If any group has reported the bugs, lobbied for specific improvements, meticulously examined the demos,
