Hosts & Applications (Sequencers, DAWs, Audio Editors, etc.) • Re: The end of Finale.

Around 2008 or so I talked to Finale folks, just having the Finale Guitar 2003 then, everybody was harassing Cakewalk to improve notation in Sonar and stuff.
- why don't you talk to daw people to integrate Finale notation code into their system?
- daws already have VST libraries support and whatnot

But they instead decided to double up with things in daws already, a lot of coding that daws already have.

We could have a daw with notation worth having, in my case Sonar. A bit like Melodyne that most daws have included nowadays.

At least they implemented the simplicity I showed from Sonar had for splitting bass clef and treble clef with a simple split note in v27, not there when I trialed v26. They refered to some overcomplicated plugin for that simple purpose that I never even succeded with.
- much more readable even if not doing grand piano stuff alone
- some library had cellos in left hand and violins in right and playing two hands was hard to read unless splitting staff.

Notion in StudioOne complicated this as well, you could only select if recording into Notion or midi track had to be named piano in StudioOne, or it was not possible to split clefs. Simplest things not possible.

At least good they backed down on just keeping authorization up for another year, so you can move to another computer is needed in future.
