As a PrintMusic user, you are eligible for the Dorico Pro crossgrade offer at $149. The price of Dorico Elements is $99, or $67 if you qualify for the edu discount. If you can stretch to the Dorico Pro crossgrade price, I would recommend it.

This is why Iāve given my wife express instructions to release all the PDFs of my works into the public domain via CPDL / IMSLP when I pass away. Better to have it free and out there than to digitally rot and disappear forever.

I was stung by apple about a year ago when they deprecated a font I relied heavily upon. Then I purchased the full version, but MacOS continually uninstalls it as a legacy font, so I had to (technically) breach the ULA by taking that same font into a font editor and changing itās name and ID number (strictly for my own use) since the font developer wouldnāt answer or respond to any of my emails, but I had paid for it. So now I have a weird, forked font, that is a ārealā font, so to speak. But the moral of the story is: donāt assume that just since windows or macOS has had a font for 20 years, that it will continue to do soā¦

But in a PDF the font is embedded, so I suppose the PDF reader will be capable to produce a good view, even when the font is not on the market anymore.

Mind you, this can be hard workā¦
I wanted to be generous and post some music I had written out, but had big trouble with a moderator who always modified and changed the title of a piece so it would fit into their structure.
In specific, I had posted an unusual piece for string trio without basso continuo, despite it being from the baroque time. The administrator/moderator insisted to tag it as trio sonata with bc. which is obviously and definitely wrong.
After some attempts to correct his corrections I finally gave up and said good bye to my idea to ādonateā my library.

You can no longer purchase a new Finale license and an upgrade to 27 is only available with the crossgrade.
In Germany, you can actually still buy a new Finale license from Klemm Music for 350ā¬. Iām not sure if anyone really does that, though.
ā¦that is unfortunate. I still contacted MakeMusic to ask if there was an āupgradeā price to only get from V26 to V27 without a new Dorico seat/license.
I also asked MakeMusic if itās possible to get an update to Finale 27 if I already have a Dorico license. After sending them a copy of my invoice, they added Finale 27 to my account for free.

149 USD only for an update from V26 to V27 is also ok. It was the normal price for a long time.

Actually, he wrote a scathing, detailed and accurate review of MuseScore āso they made him the head designer. MS 4 was the result ā though still not all that good, it is no longer horrible IMO.
Annually through 2012 though there was a $30 discount for upgrading by a certain date.
