Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Junk
Yeah, this thing is junk. I was scoring "Freebird" as a banjo piece with cello accents highlighted in the background and the banjo sound reproduction was terrible, the dotted half notes were in sequence with the 3/8ths and 5/16ths....and don't get me started on how the treble cleff was out of allignment causing my measures (and eventually verses) to slide in to one another. I gave this program 1 star because it didn't give me the option of putting a barfing face for a rating. Yeah, this thing is ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finale 2006 has added some long overdue features
For the longest time it was very difficult to get natural sounding accels and rits in your music. Finale used to have a cryptic way of doing it. Now, you literally conduct the tempo! Very easy to use. The way they have added the feature needs a little refinement but they are certainly on the right track. Finally, I can hear my music played back with a very musical rubato feel. Just getting "Tempo Tap" was worth the price of the upgrade! The only problem with Tempo Tap is that you cannot edit your ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Still has some bugs
While you can get it to do what you want most of the time it still has some bugs (GPO playback) that will irritate you. For example after scoring a piano piece and playing it back two of the notes played for an oddly short duration as though staccato. Another time in a six measure repeat the first two violin notes played back about half volume during the repeat. If I adjusted the volume up using accents or note articulations then the two notes played loudly the first time through. While these types ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Sound!
The sound quality with this is incredible! I took songs I wrote on finale 2005 (I upgraded to 2006 for $100) and put them into 2006; it sounds SO MUCH BETTER. If you listen to it through headphones, you might as well be at a live performance! It's easy to notate and print (and it looks great)! It's well worth the money. Costumer support is nice and fixed many of my simple problems (that only had to do with my ignorance).



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finale is What? AWESOME!!!!
This is the absolute best music notation software out there--don't let the price scare you, it's worth every penny. It make beautiful and professional(this is what BIG music companies use--Hal Lenoard, Warner Bros. to name a couple)sheet music. Every musician, whether you're a teacher, student, or even a musician for a church or religious organization can use this! You can do your own arrangements of music to FIT YOUR GROUP! It uses a user-friendly graphic interface--it looks just like a blank score ... Read More
