If you create music in languages other than English, you probably have a good understanding of what Finale 2012’s Unicode font support offers.

Last month we launched our “Take Your Music Further with Garritan” music composition contest.
In it, we invite contestants to develop a provided musical theme to create a piece of music – using Garritan sounds – that invokes their dream travel destination.
Last week we announced our upcoming Finale iPad music viewer and demonstrated the app at NAMM, the music industry tradeshow in Anaheim, California.
