Just an hour ago Daniel posted to alert us to the end of an era for Finale, which I originally bought in September, 1988. I thought users here would want a place to say things about this news. As for me, I left Finale work behind in 2003 once I was confident enough with Sibelius. But I’m sure there …

You can purchase the v27 upgrade now. It’s just called a Dorico crossgrade.

[image] rickpaul: you can always make PDF print images in Finale to keep that original formatting Out of interest: can one also do this with multiple files/in a batch? Like “Translate folder to pdf”?

[image] kelvynchin: Its quite ridiculous right now to not “give away” the best possible musicXML converter (ie v27) to those who need it. You’ll forgive me, but they couldn’t “give it away” to invested users at the fire-sale price of $99 for the last two years, which is why things are as they…

Check if the external audio card is connected via usb hub. Ejl can be a problem when scanning devices and linking with Halion and Grzv Agent. I had this problem a few days ago.
