I don't read this group all the time, but last time I did we/I were pretty involved in a thread regarding Coda and their pullout of Music Prose from the NeXT env. Well guess what. It's here. On March 5th at the Seybold DTP con in Boston (which I didn't attend) someone I work with spoke with a NeXT droid about Music software. There was no demo but in the catalog he was given on admission, there was a two page add for Coda's Music Prose. I have personly seen the add ( actualy I almost tore it from his hands :-) and it looks legit to me. Available: First quarter of 1991. (Are we there ?) Price: $399 -- --Mark. mrn%eplunix.UUCP@eddie.mit.edu Disclaimer: Your assumptions are your own.

No work is being done on MusicProse. Would anybody be interested in a program for the NeXT resembling Opcode's "Vision" that currently runs on the MAC??? If so, please make a lot of noise to me, NOW!!!!

So its out of date relative to more recent discussions.

Well guess what. It's here. > Well I did not mean to clutter things up and misinform but from what I'm hearing the add for Music Prose was from a fall catalog. I am currently tracing down the copy I saw to check the date but I suspect it will be the fall version :^(. I guess what caused the reaction was that the add was pointed out by a NeXT booth droid after a query into NeXT music software. This is yet another case of the lack of quality that *can be* (FLAME GUARD) found at trade shows. What if this person went out and bought a NeXT to use Music Prose then found out he could'nt get the software? You could'nt blame him for getting fummed. A Seybold con, a NeXT employee, and a great looking add; I believed it. Back to real mode. -- --Mark. mrn%eplunix.UUCP@eddie.mit.edu Disclaimer: Your assumptions are your own.
