Tutorial 3: Articulations and Expressions

Now that you know the basics of entering music quickly and editing it efficiently, it’s time to learn how to add the markings that make music such a rich language—articulations, dynamics, slurs, and more. Open the document called “Tutorial 3” in the Tutorials folder: We’ll use this arrangement of “Oh, Susannah” to explore Finale’s fluency in the language of music. By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to create a score with all the necessary markings.
