It may be that they called the software v7 in honour of Jean Sibelius's

I suspect they did. I have a vague recollection of reading something about
that at the time.

It was just an idea that came into my head. But the 7th, although the
last and a very fine single movement work, is not generally regarded
as the best. And Sibelius burned the manuscript for no8

But I may be imagining this as it seems a logical reason
given the name iof the developers. :-)

Indeed:-) Did you ever come into contact with the Finn brothers?
