Create orchestrations of up to 8 staves, and enter notes by clicking them into the staff or importing MIDI or MusicXML files.

Once your music is in NotePad, you can hear it play back, see it on the printed page, and share it with other NotePad and users of other Finale family music notation software.

Took em awhile to actually get sound out of it, and I have to reset it with each new startup.

There is no way to easily reset your registration with the registration server, and as a result you need to call their support line or open a support ticket to have them reset the server so that you can register the program again.

Finale Install Itself Anywhere

After all the sign-up-rigmarole I got my precious serial number, agreed to let it install itself anywhere it saw fit to (without my being able to select an install location).

Not much more---except that it very sucessfully gathers information from people.

For that reason my review is not of the software---I am about to trash it actually, so I havent honestly used it--rather its a review of Finale.

Ill go back to playing with LilyPond, Guido, etc.

It is also possible to have up to eight parts in the music, and automatic transposition has saved me a few hours of work.

The use of the QuickHelp documentation engine instead of the Help Viewer is jarring, and I often need to start a new document when working out the parts and time signature (these are locked in once a new document is created).

If you want to orchestrate your own symphony, look somewhere else.

Finale Free If Anyone

Did I mention its free If anyone has a better freeware notation method please share, until them this gets a decent rating from me.

Once reported, our staff will be notified and the comment will be reviewed.
