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.
“For a limited time, users of any version of Finale or PrintMusic can purchase Dorico Pro – the highest tier of the product – for just $149 (retail price $579).”
