I did a slow count but have reached my limit, too many let this kind of “stuff” go unchallenged.

Actually that is EXACTLY what capitalism is, and does, and it is GOOD (Gecko was right).

Maybe the Finn twins should not have SOLD it to Avid for $23M on 2 Aug 2006. Even with the confiscator taxes of the UK, those twins should still have a sizable chunk of money in their pockets (unless they blew it all). So if AVID is evil are not the Finns? After all they are part of the 1%’ers now. Or did they give away all that money to charity or to the "arts?" If they did good for them.

"...Avid bought Sibelius in 2006 from its founders Ben and Jonathan Finn. ..."

"...Tewksbury, Mass. August 2, 2006

Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID) today announced that it has acquired Sibelius Software Ltd., for approximately $23 million in cash...."

Also that was six (6) years ago – I doubt that AVID, or any corp., waited 6 years to "suck it dry" then dump it.

I do support the effort afoot by the USER community to step in and save it from the evil ‘mericans and AVID. Best wishes and best of luck to them, seriously.

I won’t be one however. And no, it is not because I can not read music, I can sight read (fair but NOT middling), but like MOST musicians I have no need to WRITE scores/sheet music; hence, no need for this piece of SW. It would be a nice to have it is not a need to have. Actually BIAB is a NICE to have, not a need to have, but I buy it because I USE it.

No matter HOW good Sibelius is it is a NICHE product used in a very small community (the writers and readers of music are a very tiny fraction of the world wide consumer population) the nobleness of that community not withstanding.
