MakeMusic Finale 2014 Notation Software at a Glance:
  • Sharing your compositions is easier than ever
  • ScoreManager makes it easier than ever to manage your projects
  • Educational materials built into Finale
Sharing your compositions is easier than ever

When it comes time to share your work, you'll find it easier then ever. Finale NotePad (a free download) lets your friends and associates play, print, and edit your Finale files, while the free Finale SongBook iPod app lets your music go where you go. Finale's PDF files support Unicode, so you can use any text font you want, even foreign languages. You can also send audio of your scores in MP3, AIFF, or WAV file formats. For serious composers that need to collaborate with other musicians, arrangers, and writers, Finale 2014 ensures you'll be able to share projects quickly and easily.

ScoreManager makes it easier than ever to manage your projects

Sweetwater knows that making music is about creativity, not managing score and stave layout. Let Finale 2014 take care of the tedious score management with the ScoreManager. ScoreManager knows what you want and how to implement it quickly and easily. It will place new parts in their appropriate location in the score, and even take care of sound and MIDI setup for you. If you change a flute part to a clarinet part, Finale 2014's ScoreManager will not only change the name and score placement, but it will also transpose it for you automatically. Spend more time composing and less time managing the score with MakeMusic's Finale 2014.

Educational materials built into Finale

Other expanded content includes a library of over 1000 classroom-ready music education worksheets designed for K-12 students. These worksheets include material that's appropriate for general music, theory, band, orchestra, and choir classes. For younger students, there's the updated Finale AlphaNotes font, which puts note names, solfege, or even smiley faces into the noteheads. You'll love the new colored notehead option, especially in elementary classrooms. Overall, MakeMusic Finale 2014 is loaded with new improvements that will benefit anyone using the program or the music composed in it.
