So I'll be able to help arrange this summer. I'm actually getting it for a great price ($219 via academic discount on eBay). Anyone have some tips about using Finale?
Tips? As in how to use it?
Yeah. Any general tips would be appreciated.
If you manage to buy finale, don't forget to order GPO with it.
What's GPO?
Garritan Personal Orchestra. It's a set of high quality orchestra sounds.
I thought it came with it already, according to this: http://www.finalemusic.com/finale/features/hearingyourmusic/GarritanSounds.aspx
spend a few minutes running through the quickstart tutorial videos built in. and i'm not sure if finale 2011 has it, but there might be a file already made which is like a worksheet and it will guide you through the process of most of it's features.
Thanks. I've been playing with it for about a week now and love it.
