C’est la rentrée des classes et c’est l’heure de faire son cartable, de vérifier un à un si tous les stylos écrivent, si le tube de colle n’est pas sec, de retrouver un à un tous les morceaux de ce fichu compas, et de faire le point sur ce qu'il reste en copies doubles petit format grands carreaux ou copies simples grand format petits carreaux, comme sur les vagues souvenirs des choses apprises l’an dernier…
Bonjour, il y a une nouvelle qui semble être passée inaperçue mais qui est pourtant une petite révolution dans le domaine de la MAO c'est l'arrêt du logiciel de gravure musicale "FINALE" et son accord passé avec Steinberg pour migrer vers DORICO.
Voici ce que les utilisateurs ont reçu au réveil ... Une page se tourne ...
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.
For more information about the decision to sunset Finale and partner with Steinberg, please read the letter from MakeMusic President Greg Dell’Era:
