Learn how to use all of Finale's notation tools.
Finale offers all the notation tools required to craft virtually any composition. Unfortunately, the imaginative ways these tools are used sometimes becomes an elaborate composition in itself! The Composing With Finale book from Thomson Course shows you the essentials needed to make the most of this software program's incredible power. Studying Finale from a compositional perspective eases the learning curve overall, transforming Finale into an extension of your imagination. Instead of describing procedures most beneficial to copyists and engravers, this "how-to" manual isolates the methods crucial to working with a music composition in progress — how to efficiently translate directly from your creativity to the score. Far from a "point-and-click" guide, this book will help you compose more music with one of the most advanced music composition tools on the market.
