Tutorial 2: Adding Details

There’s a lot more to music than just notes. In this tutorial, we’ll cover how to add details—key and time signatures, lyrics, repeats, chords, and more. Open the Document called “Tutorial 2” in the Tutorials folder: We’ll use this version of “Oh, Susannah” to explore Finale’s prowess in creating a lead sheet. By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to create a simple lead sheet.
