I'll do it.
I would guess that despite an OS X port, there is
still work to do with porting for Linux and even when
that's done, there's maintaining that code base. How
many linux Finale users would we have? Maybe a couple
dozen. And how many would be required to justify
porting Finale? Maybe a couple thousand. I don't know
the real numbers, I'm just preparing to make a point.
I'm sure that a Finale has to be a model for a music editor...
I'd suggest the Linux Audio User community would
be
better off orgainizing a fund raising activity of some
type and using the proceeds as contributions towards
existing projects.
I'm completely agree with you
It certainly isn't beyound me to wish that a
company
with a high grade product would port to linux.
However, my feelings for that have changed. My current
position is, fuck them. This our community, let's keep
it that way. We need to put leeches on our own hooks.
I believe that application like denemo or noteedit, must grow up!!
The base is good, but there isn't any detail, any way for typesetting the score...
I am prepared to spend $10.00 or $15.00 towards the
purchase of something if I know that money will be
well spent. If a couple hundred of us do that, we'll
make a hell of a contribution to our favorite project.
My 20.00 $ is ready to send!! I'm not joking..
The more I think about giving $500.00 U.S. to a closed
project, the more pissed off I get. I'm tell'n ya, I'm
turning purple over here. Actually, I just had a
breakthrough on the drum kit so I'm not very purple.
You are right...
For myself, I'm contributing to translate and give suggestion to the denemo project.
I don't know how many developers knows denemo and how many of them works on it, or are
interested in typesetting music editor...
