The drawback of this is that you still can't use 64-bit VST libraries without using a bridge solution. (It still runs on 64-bit operating systems though, like previous Finale versions.) I should mention what Finale 2014 is NOT: Finale 2014 isn't 64-bit - it still runs in 32-bit mode only. The icons look a bit different than in earlier versions.but before I begin. Finale's treatment of accidentals is slightly different compared to previous Finale versions. Measure-attached smartshapes work differently compared to earlier versions. Do I have to 're-learn' something to use Finale 2014? Anchored Hairpins and Measure-attached Smartshapes.However, since the changes to the Mac version are numerous in this version, so I'll try to cover that separately as well. Please note that this review is mainly based on the Windows version of Finale 2014. It also contains a number of tips regarding the use of Finale 2014. With this review, I'm trying to give you an in-depth discussion of the new features in Finale 2014 (compared to Finale 2012).
