The documentation includes three well-written, well-organised, illustrated volumes - a 148-page User's Guide, a 92-page Power User's Guide, and a 301-page Reference Manual, each of which has its own table of contents and index. The disks include a Program disk a System disk a PowerPlus disk (which holds the PowerPlus utility program), and various templates, symbol libraries, tutorial samples and the program's custom Petrucci music font (screen and Postscript formats). The Transcribe function does have similarities to a sequencer, and you could make it function as a sequencer, but that's not the program's purpose.įINALE COMES ON five disks and with three manuals, a videotape (sadly not a tutorial), a laminated reference chart and stickers to use on disks holding working copies of the programs and other data. Let's get one thing clear from the start, however Finale is not a sequencer. It supports most music symbols (both visually and over MIDI), and has the tools to create any more you desire.įinale also accepts real-time MIDI input in two different ways - via Hyperscribe and Transcribe Tools. It's a scorewriting program that allows you to enter music by mouse, keyboard, or in real time on up to 128 staves, edit any portion of the music, create publication-quality printout on a Postscript-compatible laser printer (it works with Imagewriters) and intelligently play back your notated music on up to 32 MIDI channels (two sets of 16). IN CASE YOU haven't heard the rumours, I'll fill you in on Finale's basic capabilities.
