![]() OK, there have been improvements, Finale is much easier to learn then it was 10 years ago, but basically, the interface in its core hasn't kept up with the addition of new features and basically remained the same for the last 20 years. ![]() And yes, this app can create really beautiful professional scores – the point here is that you can really make your own, individually styled scores – nobody will see what app you have used for it. ![]() Anyway the input-methods are great, if you do composing, the speedy entry (with MIDI-keyboard) is fantastic (you can play/try your music at the keyboard and Finale will only write down when you type together the rhythmic values). The core of this app is brilliant, I love entering notes real time by MIDI-keyboard (if you're not very good at it, you can first tap the rhythm with the hyperscribe-tool and then the correct pitches with the repitch-tool), the 'engine' for those things is very good. That takes time, as Finale allows for more customisation than any other app in this field, it is very versatile many give up on it during this process, but once you have 'set up' the app for you and your needs, Finale shows its strengths. I use both apps (and some other, more specialised software), and both have their positive and negative points.I think the key for using Finale well, you have to make your own templates, and find your own workflow. ![]()
