Finale both imports and exports standard MIDI files. A MIDI file has a format that can be understood by music programs from different companies, including most sequencer programs—even on other operating systems. If you prefer to compose by improvising in your favorite sequencer, you could save your piece as a standard MIDI file and let Finale notate it for you.
When you save a MIDI file, Finale saves the instrument name (from the Instrument List) as the track name. When you open a MIDI file, Finale uses the track name as the staff name (which appears in the Staff Attributes dialog box).
