Thank you for recounting your experience, Thomas Eberth. If you haven’t done so previously, you might want to go to the Notat.io website and look over some of the old posts that tweak the Finale settings. As you know, the Finale default settings are notoriously bad for so many aspects besides slurs, but easily changed. With my settings, which are given in the posts, I have to modify only a few slurs. In any case, when I am at a loss concerning slur shape, I consult fine printed editions; I have found the old Breitkopf and Haertel Brahms Complete Works to be very helpful.
PIanoleo, I already did a trial of 3.0. Wish I had waited until 3.1 particularly because of the new line tool, since line work was a major factor in my decision to stay with Finale. When Dorico allows input of multiple individually moveable fingerings for single notes, I will probably buy it if only to see if I can adapt it to my working style.
