[comp.sys.next] Music Prose!! Believe It!!

mrn@eplunix.UUCP (Mark R. Nilsen) (03/08/91)

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

Don't believe everything you read.  I spoke with Coda yesterday.  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!!!!

Sorry, but No Virginia, there is no Santa Claus :-)

That's clearly the same add that appears in the Fall 1990
Third Party Catalog, pages 253,254. So its out of date relative
to more recent discussions. Don't believe the hype, as they say.

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.
