I recently spoke with a customer who was updating a Finale file originally created back in 1992.

I love the Garritan instruments that come with Finale. Included are sounds from several Garritan libraries, including Personal Orchestra, Jazz and Big Band, Concert and Marching Band, Authorized Steinway, and others.
Since chord symbols are tied to a staff’s key signature, Finale automatically transposes chord symbols correctly for all transposing instruments in your score.

Is hearing Finale play your music important to you?
Much has been said about the great instrument sounds included with Finale, but there’s another, less-touted feature that plays an equally important role in creating realistic sounds.
To create a repeat in the early days of Finale, you had to add a forward-facing repeat symbol at the beginning of a repeated section, add a backwards-facing repeat symbol at the end of the repeated section, and then configure the repeat to play back.
