Windows 10, Finale v The link above works, but if you click "Support" you get the error, as I said. Post by motet » Thu Jun 07, pm Seems to be working now.

Good to know someone is minding the store. Post by motet » Thu Jun 07, pm So much for Zendesk being customer support experts! Post by Vaughan » Fri Jun 08, pm Wouldn't surprise me if MM were working on a intelligent collision avoidance.

Finale is the last major notation program not to have such a feature; Sibelius has its magnetic layout and Dorico already does this very well by default. I can also imagine their trying to implement an intelligent way of stacking articulations, also in an attempt to keep up with the competition. I can imagine that these two features are high on most users' wish list and that MM knows this. Vaughan Finale 3.

Post by blueshift » Wed Jun 13, am I think we all agree that FInale's scoring AI is so absurdly deficient that there are no words to describe it, but is it a below-the-waterline vulnerability? The Finale people, who have apparently invested little in improving its score quality since I began using it 's , obviously don't think so. Otherwise they'd fix it. They expect if we want good score production, we'll hire a copyist, or buy the Dorico crossgrade and port our compositions over via MusicXML.

That's my plan. Side note: I was in touch with the score manager for a European music publisher known for its perfect scores: they use an out-of-publication application and won't touch Finale. They are watching Dorico with interest, and told me last week that it's still 'not ready. As a not-famous arranger, this is very important to me. The Garritan libraries, with the Aria player, comprise a powerful modeling capability at affordable prices; yes, you can do as well on Steinberg and EW but at what cost of time, effort, and money?

I recently tried a Cubase 9. I got a better result from my own native Finale rig and audacity. Better in every respect I hate losing the serrated growl of the 16ft Faggot from the GCPO library - something that did not survive teleportation to Cubase. So Finale stays in the top drawer of my toolbox. Post by motet » Wed Jun 13, pm AI? Post by michelp » Wed Jun 13, pm Artificial intelligence?

Michel MacOsX Azerty kb. Post by blueshift » Wed Jun 13, pm That's all AI is - did they anticipate your question or need? Examples such as those demonstrated by Dorico: preventing overlapping articulations, or applying a hairpin to a selected group of notes.

There is never going to be anything actually intelligent about whatever artificial solution anyone comes up with - not even the legendary Elon Musk. After 22 years with Finale, I would expect my original manuals - printed in three volumes - would be out of date; for score layout, not much has changed.

But as I said, Finale's audio production is simply fantastic. And score management parts, not layout is also pretty good.
