MakeMusic Finale v26 is a music notation software that provides musicians, composers, and arrangers with a set of reliable tools for capturing their musical inspiration, engraving beautiful sheet music, and clearly communicating their artistic vision, whether creating a simple lead sheet, a Broadway score, a large Hollywood film score, or something truly unorthodox.
Version 26 is designed with an emphasis on making your creative process faster and more efficient with new features for automatically stacking articulations and avoiding collisions with slurs, as well as expediting the entry of chord symbols and expressions. Also on board are instant tremolos and rolls, horizontal centering, Go to Measure, and a variety of other performance enhancements. These improvements maintain the flexibility to work in the order and manner that best supports your inspiration, while reducing the time it takes to write your music—especially when operating under looming deadlines with no room for mistakes.
The setup Wizard handles all the details to get you started right away. Finale lets you input notes via a MIDI keyboard, with the mouse, or from your computer keyboard. You can also import a wide variety of file types, including MIDI and MusicXML. The software's powerful editing tools enable you to quickly move measures, change keys, and transform your music in countless ways. There is even an editorial input function, which indicates when notes have been written out of an instrument's range.
Included is a large collection of Garritan instrument sounds, great for playing back your music, inspiring your creative process, and making sure your score sounds exactly the way you want it. The Human Playback feature ensures that the music plays back with all the feeling, phrasing, and nuances of a live performance.
Thanks to the built-in MusicXML support, Finale enables you to share files back and forth with other users as you create. Completed projects can be exported as printed sheet music, audio files, pdfs, or MIDI files, allowing you to choose the best output format for your application.
Note: This is a competitive upgrade available to owners of other notation software such as Sibelius, Dorico, Notion, and more.
