Re: [Finale] Finale 2014b
I look forward to testing 2014b, I'm not holding my breath and I hope that it'll be healthy. Finale 2014a had so many playback issues, blowing through fermata, not playing defined rit. and other shapes, random interpretation overall of accents, tenuto, no response upon user-defined variables like 'attack' and 'duration' in playback, and so much - very difficult if you work with a client who is married to playback. Add to that general lethargy and at least one crash per session during normal use. It's a wonder how this program gets released - it's not Beta! I think Adobe would be out of business if they put out work like Make Music. I'm hoping they put the Mac Quicklook feature back, I don't understand why Mac users haven't complained en masse about that one - does everyone want to have to open Finale to check on files, etc? I've sent regular requests. Rant over. Here's hoping it's massively improved, they need it to be.

Re: [Finale] Finale 2014B
Despite proclaiming Numerous crashing situations have been fixed, Finale 2014b is still crashing when I use Transcribe! This happens reliably several times a sesssion. If it doesn't crash, playback doesn't work when I press the spacebar and click the score. Restarting Finale fixes this temporarily, till the next crash. Maybe they fixed this on the Mac side: Many audio-related crashes have been fixed and USB mono input devices no longer cause errors. This fix doesn't appear on the Windows highlights. I guess I'll have to wait till Finale 2014c, or pay another $100+ and hope it's fixed in Finale 2015. And yes, I did submit this problem (again), but have little hope of resolution.

Re: [Finale] Finale 2014B
Not sure about this on the Mac side, but after working in 2014b for a few hours, I find that there are still scrolling anomalies (clicking in the scroll bar jumps more than one window - often to the beginning or end of the document, and SmartScroll - a useful app that works well in 2012 is buggy in 2014). Also, redraw problems remain - if a rehearsal letter is displaced and you restore it to default position, it doesn't redraw until you force a redraw. Still buggy and annoying. Somewhat pissed off.
