 Sure beats transcribing by hand - simple to use (relatively) July 10, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Speaking as an amateur musician who takes songwriting very seriously - Finale SW writes my charts flawlessly. The interface for manually editing is simple to use, albeit time consuming. I mention this not as a fault of the software but as a warning that if you play your midi device as I do, not well, there is a lot of manual editing after.
I do most of my stuff on this using the manual entry features. I get faster with practice and the charts it produces are beautiful.
I've tried many programs and this is by far the best I've used.
An additional benefit I'm sure not intended by Finale; My keyboard skills are beginning to improve as I try playing more acurately thus reducing the time spent correcting.

This is such a wonderful program. It's easy to use, allows you to print and create mp3's of music. As you write the music for any number of instruments you hear those instruments play the notes you selected. All in all the best music writing software for the money on the market today.
Great software April 19, 2008

The Finale Songwriter 2007 is excellent for notation and printing off lead score sheets. It is easy to learn, makes quality sheet music and has some really nice features found in the more complex types of programs. This is a must have for someone who needs to get the notes down on paper in a flash. You can even play it as you go. I give it a +10 for those who like to create & arrange your own music. The finished product looks professional. Great software.

This might be the best software I've ever owned ~ certainly, it is consuming me. I got it for Christmas for my mother, who asked me to install it for her. After I did so, I idly tried it out. Shortly thereafter I purchased my own copy. Now my only regret is that I didn't get the next higher version (I believe it's called Allegro) ~ and I will probably be upgrading. I write church music, and am finding the limitation of only 8 staves per page to be frustrating. Other than that, it's GLORIOUS! One more endorsement: I've never written a review for anything before, and probably never will again. I feel strongly about the power and wonder of the creative potential and immediate feedback of this software. P.S. I use a Macintosh; works well!
great, especially considering the price January 9, 2008

I got this product for Christmas, and, considering the prices I have seen for it, it is an extremely cost effective product. I am especially pleased with many of the midi patches. I have done some writing on it thus far, including a duet for organ and cello, and its sounds really good as far as quality goes.
