Finale 2011 includes three new music fonts: the Finale AlphaNotes font, the Finale Mallets font, and the Finale Percussion font.
Lyrics in Finale 2011
Last week I wrote about Staff Layout advancements in Finale 2011 and how they help users follow their own workflow.
Finale Layout and What I Couldn’t Say
Last week I had a support contact with a composer whose work I greatly admire. He was editing a large score (more than 100 parts) that had been optimized.
Adding New Percussion Sounds to Old Finale Files
Last week I described how easy it has become to change percussion sounds with Finale 2010b. In addition to switching sounds, the same process can also be used to correct percussion playback problems in older Finale documents.
When I first began using Finale my focus was strictly on the printed page, not on playback.
