(R), Coda's less expensive notation product. Earlier this year, Passport's filing for protection under Bankruptcy Chapter 7 caused tens of thousands of its notation customers to worry if they would ever be able to purchase an upgrade to their aging Passport products. While Passport's assets were purchased out of bankruptcy, there has been no public announcement of a date for the release of upgrades for either of Passport's former products. With the addition of the Encore and Rhapsody import feature, Finale is the logical upgrade alternative for former Passport customers. To fully exploit this opportunity, Coda has introduced a special offer to Encore and Rhapsody users: for a limited time they can upgrade to the $545 Finale product for only $149.95. The combination of the file import feature, the special offer and the lack of any clear information regarding upgrades to Passport's former products is likely to encourage Encore and Rhapsody users that this is the time to upgrade to Finale. "Finale is the best possible upgrade Encore and Rhapsody users could ever hope for" stated Ron Raup, Coda President and COO (Cell Of Origin) See mobile positioning. . "And with the new file import capability, none of their past work will be lost as they step up to a professional product that is the world standard in music notation technology."
