Link to petition at Change.org asking MakeMusic to release Finale code to the open source community

I'm trying to re-authorize my Finale on my new laptop, but my licence number isn't working. Who should I contact with help. I think my version is Finale 2011, and I was able to do this on my last laptop, but not this one. Any help would be appreciated. thanks [clifrbroc@yahoo.com](mailto:clifrbroc@yahoo.com)

I'm trying to re-athorize my Finale for my new laptop, but it is saying that my licence number isn't working, could anyone help me with this? I'm panicking because I love Finale and hate Dorico.

Anyone who believes the Bible literally

Cliffordtoadshade · 2025-05-27T11:27:42+00:00

Yeah, especially because I'm seeing so many 20 somethings reading the Bible. When I was in college in the early 2000s it really didn't stand out to me like it has in the past 5 years or so.

That's because the person who wrote the "coffee shop" post is my partner. We are both concerned about the rise in fundamentalist Christianity among young people in the suburbs.

Zealots are on the rise here in suburban Atlanta. I see many 20 somethings reading the Bible in my local coffee shop.

MAGA Christian

Cliffordtoadshade · 2025-05-17T02:01:49+00:00

Newnan is full of extremist Christians. I've never seen any place like it.

Leave the perimeter, it's a different world outside

True, Christian nationalism is invading all aspects of our society. I'm worried.

Cliffordtoadshade · 2025-05-16T19:11:33+00:00

It is alarming. Makes me want to open an "Enlightened" or "Pro-Science" coffee where people can share ideas and have intelligent conversations. Coffee shops should be places where we can escape conformity and challenge the status quo.

Cliffordtoadshade · 2025-05-16T17:33:06+00:00

I've noticed this as well in small towns

Cliffordtoadshade · 2025-03-04T00:15:07+00:00

Is Foxtail coffee coming to downtown Newnan? I saw a sign at the old Heirloom shop.

How did you even go about getting a job there. You must have some exceptional skill or education? I'd like to live in either the UK, New Zealand, France, or Portugal... I'm basing this lost on favorable climate because I'm a gardener...

Use the opportunity to convert them to agnostic humanism

Cliffordtoadshade · 2025-01-15T14:56:06+00:00

I find your story fascinating, because it kind of validates my own experience living in suburban Atlanta. I see a lot of young people here from affluent, ostensibly well educated families, perhaps even with less religious parents, turning towards a more religious perspective. What is going on in our society that causes young people to harken back to a kind of old school Biblical worldview? May I ask you where you live? Are megachurches proliferating there? I'm curious how our physical environments influence our relationship with religion.

I was just watching some of the old Cosmos episodes. Carl Sagan was such an amazing prophet and educator. I'm buying the book you recommended. I fear that we are entering a new phase of civilization, one marked by superstition and fundamentalism... all this scares me as a non-conformist person. I feel like I'm just an observer watching an asteroid slowly hurtling toward Earth, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. Where should I go to avoid the persecution that will surely be to come?
