Thanks, Jari!

your review when Fin2011 arrives.
Thanks for posting!

Biggest question not answered: Is it worth getting? For new music, that is.
I installed 2010 but only used it
I find it interesting that the description of the Mult-user feature
sounds like MakeMusic may have gotten it WRONG.
Vista/Win7 have a major departure for where application-specific data
(as opposed to user-specific data) is to be stored. To understand
that, you have to distinguish 3 types of

Thanks for the review, Jari, but isn't there any criticism at all??

For new music? If you do a lot of music with lyrics, I'd say get it. It is
much, much easier and faster to get good lyric spacing with the new version.
For me, the upgrade is worth it for this improvement alone.
Apart from that, the improvements in the way staff spacing is handled are very

Hi David,
Just to clarify, Finale 2011 stores application specific information to the
following folder on Win Vista/7:
C:\ProgramData\MakeMusic\Finale 2011
Anything that is user editable, Finale will write to the user's roaming folder:
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\MakeMusic\Finale
NICE-Good luck with your new setup:)
PS I must be honest.I have NO discernible latency-- but yes turning
it on is flipping.the controller, and a drive on plus the computer
software--sequencer or standalone.

Jari,
Fantastic! You did a great job, as usual.
I left a comment on the site, the gist of it being that a list of bug
fixes would be appreciated, being very important to some of us.
MakeMusic doesn't even publicise complete lists (they leave off many
important ones), which I don't

Glancing through Jari's review, what catches my attention is the modification
of the Staff Usage dialog box, since I use that dialog routinely (which I
gather most users don't).
Showing the staff label instead of just the number is nice. I also can see why
they've altered the input so that you

The points I make in the review are:
* The distances that displays at staff dragging doesn't go the full way
implementation-wise.
* To not be able to get mid-system brackets easily seems wrong and

I also don't see why one shouldn't have the option to display either
the between-staff distance or the distance from the top staff. It
could default to the new setting. Being able to flip back and forth

What I very much DON'T like, if I'm reading the

that the distance from the top staff now is not displayed at all.
Even if the input is for distance between systems, can't they
still display the total distance somewhere in
I suggest you contact MakeMusic (even if you don't upgrade to Fin2011)
and ask that they should keep the old way as well. Or display the
distance as text as you suggested.
Yeah, I'll add it to my list.
For so many years I was so far behind on upgrading it seemed almost meaningless

Composer's Mosaic had this capability back in about 1992, so it can't
