In this tutorial we’ll show you the easiest ways to start a new document and get notes on the page. There are three basic note entry methods, so we’ve divided this tutorial into three parts: Simple Entry, Speedy Entry, and HyperScribe. We recommend you start with the Simple Entry tutorial to get a good introduction to navigating around Finale. Simple Entry is Finale’s most basic entry method and also one of its most powerful. If you want, you can simply click notes onto the staff with a mouse. Or, for more speed, quickly type them in with your computer or play them in with a MIDI keyboard. As you enter, you can even enter articulations, expressions, and other items on the fly. By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to enter your notation into Finale using the powerful options offered by Simple Entry.
