NOTATIO

Still haven't increased the frame limit? I'll stick with 25.

Just from a woodwind performance perspective, only the flute can accomplish what you are asking the winds to do.

I'm on Windows.

For me it's looking like the only feature upgrade is the revamped articulation bits.

So... is anyone using the new Finale version just released?

Trying to decide if the features would simplify my workflow in any way, or just create new things to work around.

But I simply can't use the application for any publishing right now in its current state. Out of curiosity, what program do you work with and what style of music? I'm currently using both Finale 2014.5 and 25 (finishing old projects in 2014.5). My music is probably best described as modern extended...

I also want to see how movement titles are handled in parts when they occur in the middle of a page. So many things I need to see before I even consider learning this program. There are lots of videos, but they all seem to be at such a superficial level that they don't really give information a powe...

Lots (and lots) of talk about scores, but I've yet to see any part samples coming from this product. Anyone using it care to share?
