| I still use it. All the time. I've been on Finale a bunch of times today to do quick fixes for an orchestra reduction of a show I'm putting together. I'm very sad about this, very frustrated. It will be a pain in the ass to learn Dorico from scratch now, but ok, I'll do it. I learned Finale on the fly (creating an orchestration for a show), I can learn another system on the fly. The problem I see in the future is that currently there's no way to convert/import Finale (.mus) documents into other software, so the many Finale files I come back to time after time to revise will have to be recreated from scratch. (For instance, transpositions of songs for clients/students, something I deal with all the time.) This won't literally be until my current computer goes belly up (as long as I stay on Windows 11), but it eventually will. As some esteemed composer/lyricist once wrote: "The blossom falls on the mountain, the mountain falls on the blossom, all things fall." |
