I don’t follow notation software at all, does anyone who’s familiar with the space have a comment on whether this is a welcome move? Seems like inevitably there would be features they implemented over 40 years that aren’t present in the new program.
It’s still used in academia but that’s all I know. It’s been a long time and the number of people who care is probably pretty small by the number of upvotes.
I used to teach music theory and used finale notepad for it. It was very hard to find compositions with notepad because of how proprietary the setup was. But it was invaluable for multiple instruments. And later the Internet started to have a ton of compositions. The issue has always been how expensive it was.
Anyways end of an era.
