Finale 2010

Makemusic Finale 2010

What’s New in Finale 2010:

Percussion Notation
We've simplified the process of getting notes on percussion staves to look – and playback – exactly the way you want them to.

Music Education Worksheets
Finale now includes hundreds of ready-made, customizable, music education worksheets designed for K-12 students.

Garritan sounds
Finale now includes more than 350 world-class instrument sounds from the makers of Garritan Personal Orchestra. Free new sounds include organ, a variety of electric guitars, five octaves of handbells, and a brush drum kit.

Broadway Copyist
Inspired by the golden era of handwritten Broadway scores, the Broadway Copyist hand-written font offers a lighter, classic appearance.

Automatic Rehearsal Marks
Use a keystroke to enter rehearsal marks and Finale automatically sequences them correctly and dynamically updates them when you delete, insert, or move any rehearsal mark or measure.

Chords
Change or delete notes without changing your chords. Attach chords to measures – whether or not they contain notes or rests – and have the chords appear and playback correctly.

Graphics Support
Export as .JPEG, and .PNG and import as .JPEG, .PNG, .BMP, and .GIF in addition to previously supported formats of .TIFF, .EPS.

VST/AU Support & Updated Aria Player
Finale now supports all third-party VST/AU Instruments and Effects, providing users with unlimited sonic possibilities. Updated for Finale 2010, the Garritan Aria Player simplifies the process of changing MIDI channel assignments.

Measure Numbers
Control measure number alignment, positioning, and fonts separately in your score and linked parts

Scanning Improvements and More
New Smartscore Lite scanning interface enables you to specify the instrumentation so that your staves will automatically be properly transposed and configured for playback. Also new are transparent selection handles, exporting lyrics to a word-processing document, and improved help documentation.
