Finale is a music notation program giving you complete control over every aspect of the printed page while providing powerful control over MIDI input and output.

What's New:
More Robust Performance with Linked Parts. Undisputed as the most powerful music notation software, Finale 2007 raises the bar with incredible speed and productivity features including linked parts. Finale now offers the ability to automatically create and format parts as a score is created; these parts are dynamically linked – always remaining perfectly in sync with the score – but only where this is desirable. The link is intelligent – it knows when to enforce consistency and when to allow differences. Only Finale offers complete control, with the ability to create separate linked parts from a divisi staff in the score or to show different enharmonic spellings between the part and score.  
State of the Art: Exclusive Support of Intel-based Macs and More. Finale 2007 is the first music notation software that runs natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs as well as Windows computers. In addition, users of both Inteland PowerPC-based Macs will experience new speed and redraw enhancements. KONTAKT™ Player 2 is integrated into Finale 2007, employing the latest technology to play back sounds from Garritan Personal Orchestra®, included free of charge.  
Creative Control with Video Support and Latin Percussion. Integrated video support represents just one of the many new creative options in Finale 2007. Imported digital video is automatically synchronized with notation as users compose, edit and play back their score, making it easy to write for film and video.
Additional related features include Fit to Time, user-definable frame rates, the ability to write time code to the score and the option to send SMPTE/MTC to external devices – an option not found in other music notation software.
