Finale is a music notation program giving a control over every aspect of the printed page while providing control over MIDI input and output.
What's new in this version
- Compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard - Support for Macintosh OS 10.5 including Spotlight and Quick Look.
- Improvements to saving audio files with Garritan and other VST/AU sounds: Saving an audio file is no longer done in real-time. The process is now quicker on fast machines, and slower machines will produce better-sounding results.
- Further enhancements to cut/copy/paste - Copying stack items more intelligently when the destination document has a different number of staves, retaining tablature string alterations when copying and pasting, and more.
- Improved placement of lyrics hyphens, especially in tight spacing.
- Several improvements to Finale Script, MIDI file tempo data, EPS graphics, ScoreMerger, Rebar Music, and more.

Minimum 256MB RAM (1GB or more recommended for optional use of Garritan sounds/Kontakt Player: more RAM = more available sounds).

If you can be patient, steadfast, watch the tutorials, then you can use Finale and be successful. Tech support is great. They are always helpful when you are just totally "stuck". It is the industry standard.
