To notate music is to look forward – to the performance, and beyond. With faster workflow, notation enhancements, backwards compatibility, and improvements to its core, Finale 2014 is your path to tomorrow. Finale 2014 offers: Core Improvements – Finale 2014 boasts a completely redesigned file format, a new audio engine, Macintosh Cocoa support, percussion enhancements, and a clean new look with updated palettes, playback controls, mixer, icons, and backgrounds. Improved Accidentals and Rests – Finale 2014 ensures you see perfect notation of accidentals and rests, particularly in music with more than one layer, with less editing. Backwards compatibility – For the first time ever you can easily share files – back and forth – with the previous version of Finale . Beat-attached SmartShapes – Many shapes, including hairpins, trills, and other lines, are now more easily assigned, both in terms of appearance and playback. More Garritan® sounds – Dozens of world-class instruments have been added, selected from the following Garritan libraries: Garritan Personal Orchestra®, Garritan Jazz & Big Band®, Garritan World Instruments®, and the amazing new Garritan Instant Orchestra®. Easy Keyless Scores – While Finale has always been able to produce keyless scores, now they’re “one-button easy.” Expanded Linked Parts – With far greater control over what items can be “unlinked”, you have the flexibility to decide which items look different in your score than your parts. Music Education Resources – More than 1,500 worksheets, flashcards, and pieces of repertoire are now included. New additions include instrument fingering worksheets and a wide variety of titles, worksheets, solos, and repertoire. Look forward: Create your musical legacy.
