And most probably, Sibelius has its own set of issues.In addition to recognizing and reconstructing nearly any scanned musical score or PDF file with astonishing thoroughness and accuracy, it is also one of the easiest music-writing solutions available. Is Sibelius any better? I was very good at Finale, and I think I can remember everything quickly, so thinking about switching to an alien app would be sort of annoying. Oh, it looks like they ALSO got rid of the community forum? And now they replaced it with a crippled forum version? What's going on with Make Music? What's so great about 2014 or 25 that 2012 doesn't have? Should I upgrade?
Maybe they killed it because it never worked? If so, then it wouldn't be too much of a loss obviously, but I'd like to know because it seems that instead of benefiting from the upgrade I would loose more features. Did it really recognize all the staves and different instruments and notes and articulations?įrom 0 to 10, how would you rate this feature before they took it out? What I would expect, is that I would scan some orchestral score, and Finale would import it beautifully, with no need to do much further editing.
I see they not only got rid of the movie window and now you need a DAW to score against video (what are they thinking!), but now you can't even scan or import Tiffs?Īnything else I should know about the dumbed down Finale 25?Īlso, before digging out from the basement a scanner I have (that probably doesn't work), I'm really curious if the scanning/importing (from engraved scores) ever worked reliably.
It seems Make Music is really following the Apple trend of dumbing down everything they can, to the professional user demise. I wanted to upgrade from Finale 2012 to Finale 25, but now I'm not sure anymore.
