Finale for the Classroom

[@musickaleidos]

Hi, I just want to say that this feature is very helpful from a teaching perspective. I also appreciate the 27.4 update with overall improvements but I'm waiting for the 28 version, hoping in an improved playback management. It would be great grouping instruments in the mixer by sections, so with just one click muting the section you don't want to hear in playback. Otherwise making possible to put in mute (or in solo) different instruments just by clicking the mouse holding the shift key, for example, the flute and then the bassoon, resulting selected all the instruments between the two. I also hope in a better integration with NotePerformer, allowing col legno, snap pizzicato (Bartok), détaché, sul tasto, sul ponticello, no vibrato, molto vibrato, just triggered by the technique text, as for pizzicato with the strings (pizz.).

I am about ready to toss Finale into the trash can and try a different music notation program. I’ve got the latest (v27.4.1.146) version, and it just stinks-non-user friendly and cumbersome. I do exactly what it, or KZbin instructors, says I should do-and it doesn’t work!! It makes my workflow horribly slow to work with. I’ll gladly pay for a program that works-it’s not Finale!!! Feel so ripped off!!!!!
