These tutorials guide you through the production of a single score from start-to-finish in the order we recommend for most projects. We have provided accompanying Finale "Tutorial" score documents that have been prepared for each chapter in case you would like to review at a specific point. To access these documents, choose File > Open and double-click the "Tutorials" shortcut. If you have navigated away from the default "Finale Files" folder, a different folder may appear when you choose File > Open. If this is the case, access the Tutorial documents by navigating to the Finale NotePad 2012/Music Files/Tutorials folder.
By the time you have completed these tutorials you will be prepared to tackle most simple projects and begin exploring Finale NotePad's powerful features that make creating music fast, easy, and fun.
Thank you for choosing Finale NotePad, and best wishes with your music!
