Any Idea when Finale 2011 will come out?

[bobsax]

I have Finale 2008 and didn't want to fork out another $130 or $170 for the few features 2010 had that I wanted .
So instead I was going to buy Songwriter ( $50) just for the new speedy lead sheet capabilities .

I just got a new iMac and evidently I need to have Rosetta to run 2008 with Snow Leopard.
I did a little research and I guess Rosetta slows down the Mac and is is not a desirable function for Snow Leopard.
So it looks like I'll need to upgrade from 2008.

Looking at past releases (for Finale 2008 and 2009 on Amazon) I'd say in the June/July 2010 timeframe.

I waited until after Christmas, and they had a special offer on for $99...

Remember the good old days when Finale upgrades were $30 ?
The best recent deals I saw were $130.
$170 is out of control but I might cave if they'll do $99.
if 2011 had some amazing feature I'd need to dish out ONLY $70.
,,Then I'd be back to paying the original price but be ahead a year;-)

I upgraded to Finale 2010 from 2004. The linked parts and chord symbols in empty measures features were worth the cost of the upgrade.

Hi Merlin
I called Finale and they won't give it to me for $99.
No harm trying :lol:

Were you upgrading from 2009?

The best deal I ever saw was $130 for an upgrade from 2008 or older.

When I bought Finale, I did so through the upgrade program. I first bought a very obsolete version (2.0, or something along that line) from the junk bin at H & H Music's Pro Shop up in Dallas. I then turned around and upgraded for something along the line of $100.00, this being some four years ago.

It's not a route that you can always take, but it's something to keep in mind.
