Finale 2004 Available for Mac OS X 39
sunrein writes "After years of Mac OS X being available, MakeMusic has finally announced production and a Jan. 16 ship date of Finale 2004 for Mac OS X. This announcement comes after a public relations fiasco earlier this fall when the release date was pushed back just days before it was due to ship in late October."

That lateness won't make it easy to compete with any market or mind-share taken by the availability of products such as Symbolic Composer 5 [mracpublishing.com] (which appears to be shareware), and Apple's SoundTrack. [apple.com] The introduction of the new iLife application GarageBand [apple.com], while not a full-featured composition tool, certainly can't help Finale in competition.
