Leave the rest to Finale.

Your music. Your way.
In an instant you can move measures, change keys, or perform dozens of edits to capture, arrange, perfect, and print anything you can imagine.
Finale even offers creative and editorial input, from automatically harmonizing your melody to indicating when an instrument is out of range.

Enter notes. Your way.
The choice is yours. Play in your notes with a MIDI keyboard, mouse, or computer keyboard. Scan existing sheet music or import a wide variety of file types, including MIDI and MusicXML. You can even capture a brass or woodwind performance with Finale’s MicNotator®.

Sound quality makes a difference.
With Finale you get a selection of world-class instrument sounds from Garritan's Personal Orchestra, Jazz & Big Band, Concert & Marching Band, and World Instruments libraries. Finale also includes sounds from Tapspace Virtual Drumline.
