As marching band season approaches, our Technical Support department begins to hear from band directors looking to create parts correctly sized for a flip folder.
Every December for the last twenty years or so I have represented Finale at the Midwest Clinic – the annual International Band and Orchestra Conference held in Chicago.
UPDATE: The latest version of Finale is version 26. Learn more here.
I am proud to announce that the Finale 2011 demo is now available for download here.
Finale 2011 includes three new music fonts: the Finale AlphaNotes font, the Finale Mallets font, and the Finale Percussion font.
