Just looked into this. Blah. I don't use this, but I have composer friends who do. I don't know if any boycott or campaign has a chance of bringing back development or getting Avid to sell the program. I guess it's keep running it until it doesn't work anymore and hope Finale is still around then! This kind of software is incredibly difficult to write, has a fairly small market, and users who want it to be easy and fast since they're probably under huge time pressure. Many years ago (1986?) I was helping to convert a hand-written orchestra score into parts using the Synclavier's Music Printing software. The basic info was entered as text and then displayed on a VT100 text terminal with a special graphics card. No mouse - just arrow keys. It was very slow and very painful. I think I did about 30 measures before I quit :)
