In the late 1980s I played around with Lime. I liked Lime in its general structure and approach, but it was limited. The first version of Finale I used was version 2-point-something, which I borrowed from a cousin. It wasn’t long before I knew I wanted it, so I bought my own and started with

F14.5 opens any legacy file, including Fin09. How well the conversion works may depending on saves in intermediate versions, but short of possible Adobe PS Type 1 font encoding issues, I don't imagine Johannes will see any significant issues upgrading a F09 file. What you may be thinking of is tha

I’m hoping others can confirm my memory on upgrades. It’s my understanding that F12 is the compatibility link between the post 12 version database structure and the legacy versions. That is, F14 won’t open an F09 file directly. The process to bring forward legacy files is to open and save fro

I know Fin12 has issues with playback and some of the dialog boxes crash in 10.11. I have no experience with Fin09. Fin08 crashes on startup, which is why I need my virtual. At some point Apple will make 64-bit mandatory by dropping 32-bit runtime support. That day may be coming sooner than later.

I don't know if Makemusic has announced whether the 64-bit version will be a paid upgrade. I would not be surprised if it were, however. I don't think you'll encounter any significant issues upgrading Fin09 files. The one caution I would mention is if you use any Adobe PS Type 1 fonts. If so, you

Linked parts were available in Fin09 but there have been big improvements since then.
