In addition to the free holiday titles we shared with you earlier this month, we have another free gift, just in time for the holidays: Finale 2012a, the free maintenance update to Finale 2012, is now available for download.

The “a” release includes an updated and resizable ScoreManager, expanded Audio Setup control, and the ability to create SmartMusic accompaniments with vocal assessment.

To use SmartMusic accompaniments created in Finale 2012a you will need SmartMusic 2012a, which is also free and available for download today.

On behalf of everyone at MakeMusic I’d like to wish you the best for the holidays and a happy new year!
