Additionally, Finale includes many time-saving tools like Linked Parts, Multiple Page Editing, Band-in-a-Box Auto-harmonizing, ScoreMerger, SmartFind and Paint, and more.

Many areas of Finale have been redesigned for 2011, including Percussion Notation and Chord Entry, Rehearsal Marks and Measure Numbering, and common tasks have been automated and simplified to save you time and to easily make your music perfect. Lyric entry and spacing have been improved, as the staff layout.

More than 375 instrument sounds from the makers of Garritan Personal Orchestra, over 100 sounds from Tapspace Virtual Drumline, and the ability to add any VST/Audio Units instrument or effect plug-in, means the software offers the very best in playback. Record and import a mono or stereo audio file to enhance playback and to give arrangements authenticity and life with a real vocal or instrumental track.

Finale is a top choice for music professionals working in the film and television industry. The integrated video support allows the writer to set frame rates, write time code into a score, and send SMPTE/MTC to external devices. A "Fit to Time" feature greatly speeds up productivity.
