From Our Research Team:

The easy and intuitive way to create and edit scores!

Note: This is a 5-seat lab pack of Finale's PrintMusic 2009.

Finale's PrintMusic 2009 lets you create printable scores and play back your work, all in an easy-to-use format. Enter notes into PrintMusic 2009 via a MIDI keyboard controller, microphone, or with your computer and mouse, or you can also scan scores into PrintMusic 2009. Among the new features are the ability to drag and drop dynamics, tempo markings, and other expressions anywhere in your score and the ability to import and export MusicXML 2.0 files. Compose, arrange, and edit scores with unbelievable ease with the intuitive and user-friendly PrintMusic 2009!

Finale PrintMusic 2009 at a Glance:
  • Getting started
  • Note entry
  • Adding markings, lyrics, and more
  • Hearing your music
  • Sharing your music
  • Composing & arranging tools

Getting started
Finale PrintMusic's Launch Window saves you time by putting everything at your fingertips. Choose to scan existing sheet music or work from provided templates. You can also create a score with up to 24 staves from scratch with PrintMusic's Setup Wizard, which configures things like instrument transpositions so you don't have to. Use the textured paper backgrounds to make your on-screen page easy on the eyes and apply document styles to personalize the look of your scores.

Note entry
There are a variety of ways available as a means of note entry into PrintMusic 2009. Enter notes with your computer keyboard and/or mouse, or play your MIDI keyboard - with or without a click track - and watch your music appear on-screen in real-time. Use your MIDI keyboard in combination with your computer keyboard and mouse to enter notes and chords.
Use the exclusive and innovative MicNotator to play notes into your microphone with a brass or woodwind instrument.
Existing sheet music can be scanned, and PrintMusic 2009 also supports the importation of MIDI, MusicXML, SmartScore, or Finale family notation files.

Adding markings, lyrics, and more
PrintMusic allows an unlimited number of lyric verses and automatically spaces the lyrics to match the notes they're attached to. PrintMusic's Set-up Wizard includes Tablature (in standard tuning) for Guitar and Bass. Tablature can be generated automatically by dragging standard notation onto a Tab staff, or you can create it from scratch by typing numbers directly into the Tab. All notes space themselves automatically as they're entered and you can add dynamics, tempos, and percussion notation to your score. PrintMusic also automates other tasks like entering slurs, repeats, codas, and tuplets.

Metronome Markings are now easier to create and dynamically linked to playback so changes to the metronome marking affect your score's playback tempo. PrintMusic offers standard, German, and Roman Numeral chord symbols, and you can select from a library of chord suffixes to indicate harmonic analysis. Don't like manuals? PrintMusic's QuickStart Videos guide you through the process of putting your music on the page. PrintMusic also includes comprehensive help that is contextual, interactive, and searchable.

Hearing your music
PrintMusic has over 128 sounds with minimal system requirements (compatible with nearly any computer), which offers consistent playback when your PrintMusic files are heard in Finale NotePad, and other MakeMusic products. You can also combine these sounds with the selection of included Row-Loff Marching Percussion Sounds. But that's not all. PrintMusic also offers more features to fine-tune your music including a mixer with integrated sequencer controls, and Human Playback, which even makes notes entered with a mouse play back with the nuance of live performers.

Sharing Your Music
Print professional-quality sheet music using PrintMusic 2009. Create .mp3, .wav. or .AIFF files quickly and easily - press one button and save your PrintMusic files into an audio format for recording onto an audio CD or save as .MP3 to play on an iPod, or export MIDI or MusicXML files. Create textbooks, worksheets, or quizzes by exporting music into a word processing program. PrintMusic allows you to save entire pages as a TIFF file. You can also import TIFF graphics into your score. Imported graphics are embedded to make it easy to share your files. Post your music at the Finale Showcase, a free site hosted by MakeMusic where people can see, play, and print your music.

Composing & arranging tools
Finale PrintMusic takes the work out of composing and arranging and lets you concentrate on the inspiration. Transpose to any key and for any instrument. Extract parts for your performers when you're done writing your score. Running low on inspiration? PrintMusic offers composers and arrangers idea-generating tools to save time and suggest creative options.
Automatically turn your melody into two or three voice harmony, and easily add custom drum parts in a variety of styles. Add to the list of available styles by placing any MIDI file into the Drum Groove folder.

PrintMusic's Selection Tool takes the guesswork out of editing nearly anything on the page. Intuitive cut/copy/paste enhancements ensure that you always get the results you seek - the first time. Don't like something you tried? Multiple Undo lets you reverse any number of changes you made in the current session (even past the point you saved your score).

Finale PrintMusic 2009 Features:
  • Streamlined Workflow for creation, entry, moving, and editing of dynamics, tempo indications, and other text and markings.
  • Drag and Drop Expressions
  • Superior Scanning with SmartScore Lite 5.6, including triplet recognition and better results when scanning polyphonic music
  • Easier Expression Editing - Quickly change dynamics, tempo markings, and other expressions while retaining positioning
  • Enter notes with computer keyboard, MIDI keyboard, or by playing wind instrument
  • Create .mp3, .wav. or .AIFF files
  • Export MIDI or MusicXML files
  • Quickly and easily manipulate your score

Take control of your composition with Finale PrintMusic 2009!

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
