[linux-audio-dev] Re: [linux-audio-user] Regarding NoteEdit, Finale, and rumor

[Dave Phillips]

Hi Matt:

  Thanks for the further clarification. I suppose that the simple fact 
is that the Linuxadio community simply doesn't "number up" enough for 
Coda to consider us any sort of market. Same old story. Yawn, heavy 
sigh... But the truth is that I'm not really interested in Finale, I'm 
interested in libre software, and my concern is for the continued 
development of NE. It would be nice if someone would step up and take 
the reins, and as I said earlier, that is my hope now for NE.

  Would I buy Finale for Linux ? Probably, at least to see what the 
hubbub is all about. Ditto for Cubase or really any other music app that 
would run under my favorite OS, but I would want to make an equal or 
larger contribution to the developers of functionally equivalent libre 
software.

  My two drachmas, of course...

Best,

dp
