Why? Because you cannot move around a playing score like you can in Sibelius. There is still no lunga for early music. And my extended set of Garritan sounds is not readily available. I may move to Steinberg soon. Henry Howey Sent from my iWhatever

I just upgraded to Finale 25 from v2014.5 and have it found it to be very stable and fast (especially when doing playback of a file). However, be aware that TGTools, JW Tools, etc will NOT work with this new version until they come out with a 64-bit version. I received an email from Tobias

Yes, I believe I could keep 2014.5 installed and do the auto-harmonizing there. But that begs the question what would be my motivation to go to V25 if I have to bounce between apps. In your case, this 64-bit version *MAY* resolve the speed problems you have been having on large scores. If

I just stumbled across this article that was put out about 3 weeks ago. it seems to say these items are removed from the new version: * Band-in-a-box auto harmonizing * Mirror tool (i.e. ie no more mirrored measures) * Tempo tool * Music scanning This sounds like a net DOWN-grade to me. I

Well, if it is any consolation, the content of V25 is not going to draw a lot of people to crossgrade. It isn't as if a person wavering about the switch would say "Wow, a didgeridoo? I guess I had better make the switch." On 8/16/2016 6:55 PM, David H. Bailey wrote: > What really hurts

Though Weird Al’s what, almost 40 year career means nothing? I think it’s fine if he is used in their marketing. It would be better if someone from say Hans Zimmerman’s or John Williams scoring/music production team was the quote…..but I don’t think Weird Al is the level of T-Shirt and Water
