 Finale Allegro 2007b NOT Windows Vista compatible November 3, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recently purchased Finale Allegro 2007 and then updated to 2007b, which is *essential* if you are running Windows Vista. The company claims it is "fully compatible" with Vista, but even with the update, this software runs poorly on Vista (Vista Business version on my laptop). Finale is slow, it is difficult to control note placement even when you zoom in, and 16th and 32nd notes appear bunched together on the screen making them hard to read afterward (I don't know if it prints this way or not, as I haven't been able to finish even one lead sheet yet!) Also, there is no access to either the user manual or the tutorials from within the program--or, at this writing, from outside the program. So, everything I've learned so far about how to use this program has been through tedious trial and error. I am communicating with the company now to find out if there is a workaround for the manual/tutorial problem, but Finale is so much slower than Sibelius on Vista anyway that I'm going to have to abandon it anyway just to get some work done. :(
Doesn't Transpose Midi/Tiff Files too Well July 27, 2008
I'm doing the 30 day free trial too, anyway, I'm studying vocals (singing different types of songs) and I wanted to be able to edit the music (change notes around, lengthen them, and then hear them played--and this program does that).
But when I started opening a midi file to take a look at, listen to and edit for my own singing, it doesn't do that too well. Notes are missing and when it plays it squeeks some notes out.
So, I tried it with a Tiff File, same thing.
I then tried starting a new, blank sheet music and copying and filling in the notes, but for some reason the selection, copy keys don't seem to work. Maybe it's me, maybe you'll have better luck with it, maybe I'll try it again, but for now I'm trying out Notation ComposerNotation Composer by Notation Software, so hopefully that works out better.
 Finale's Allegro gets top billing! September 15, 2007

I had been using Finale Notepad to begin the development of an orchestration piece. I used the trial version of Allegro, and I found it to be EVERYTHING that I wanted. I then looked for the best overall deal I could find, and it was on Amazon. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and with the Allegro 2007 product. I highly recommend it if you want to develop your own musical scores. I would give it a Standing Ovation !!!
