I've only put my toe in the water, but I'm liking FinWin 2011. I used to
upgrade every time, but our previous upgrade was FinWin 2004. The years
flash by as I get closer and closer to 60...
I like the way the program opens up 2 pages on my 19 inch monitor. I
previously only got a one page view.
That's good to know -- making such a huge jump in upgrades
will show you huge changes in the program. For those who
have upgraded each year, it's not so big, but it's often the
"under the hood" improvements which don't get listed on the
"What's New" list which can make an upgrade worthwhile.
Personally, I did bite the bullet and upgrade to WinFin2011
and I even bought the extra book they were offering for sale
although I haven't really tackled the program yet. I
decided that with all the little changes over the past few
versions, none of which I've really spent a lot of time
with, I should dedicate some serious study time and approach
this version like a brand new program, following the
tutorials and reading the book and doing the exercises it
contains and get back up to speed.
I finally did that with Sibelius, stopping myself from
trying to approach it like a different version of Finale,
and I found I really loved the program and I thought it only
fair to give this newest version of Finale the same
treatment and see if I regain my love for working in Finale.
If not, it'll be the last upgrade of Finale I buy, but if
that happens, it won't be because I didn't give it a fair try.
