Το Φινάλε του Finale

[trolley]

Dear valued Finale customer, Today, we have important news to share with you regarding the future of Finale. Effective immediately, we are announcing these changes to the Finale software:

There will be no further development on Finale, or any of its associated tools (PrintMusic, Notepad, Songwriter) It is no longer possible to purchase or upgrade Finale in the MakeMusic eStore Finale will continue to work on devices where it is currently installed (barring OS changes)

For over four decades, our engineers and product teams have passionately crafted what would quickly become the gold standard for music notation. However, as technology stacks have changed, and millions of lines of Finale code have added up, delivering incremental value for our customers has become exponentially harder over time. Instead of releasing new versions of Finale that would offer only marginal value to our users, we've made the decision to end its development. We want to sincerely express our warm and deep gratitude to all of our loyal and passionate users. While Finale development has come to an end, we know your musical journey has not.  To ensure that you continue to have access to high-quality notation software, we have partnered with Steinberg, the creators of Dorico, to offer exclusive discount pricing on Dorico Pro for all Finale and PrintMusic users.  We truly believe Dorico is the best home for Finale users looking for a new music notation tool to continue the amazing work they are doing.

Μετά απο τόσα χρόνια που ήταν industry standard, μας ξεκρέμασαν κανονικα.

 

Προσωπικά δε θα ασχοληθώ μέχρι να φτάσει ο κομπος στο χτενι.

Αυτό είναι το πρόβλημα με το μη-opensource λογισμικό. Σου προτείνω πάντως να ασχοληθείς πολύ πριν φτάσει ο κόμπος στο χτένι, διότι όταν φτάσει, δεν θα είναι πλέον διαθέσιμες οι έκτακτες τιμές που θα διαμορφωθούν στην αγορά ένεκα των εξελίξεων.

Ναι έχεις δίκιο. Άλλο 150 και άλλο 580.

 

Ένα άλλο πράγμα που καλο θα ήταν να κάνουμε όλοι όσοι το χρησιμοποιούσαμε, ειναι να αρχίσουμε να κάνουμε pdf ή midi όλα τα αρχεία μας.

Dear valued Finale customer,

 

On August 26, 2024, we announced the sunset of Finale and encouraged our users to migrate to Dorico, which we believe represents the future of the music notation industry. We recognize that this news may feel disruptive. 

 

After reviewing early feedback from our dedicated users, we’d like to offer some clarifications. 

 

Finale development has ended, but you can still download your previously purchased Finale versions from your eStore account. If your computer crashes or you need to install Finale on a new device, you’re not left without options. 

We are committed to keeping the authorization process functional for a year. We’ve heard your concerns and are actively exploring ways to extend flexibility in the weeks ahead.

We understand that learning Dorico will be a steep learning curve, as it is with any complex notation or professional software. Both our team and Steinberg have developed extensive onboarding videos to guide you through the transition.
