Workshop Description

In Finale: Navigating the Defaults, Eddie Lewis gives the novice Finale user simple and easy to learn tips on how to use the software.

Finale is the industry’s standard for notation software.  A leader in this field for two decades, only one other competitor comes close.  Most would think that Finale has been able to stay one step ahead all along.

The problem with using music notation software is that it makes the process TOO simple.  It is very easy to produce professional looking printed music now, but that ease of use sometimes keeps people from finishing the job.  From our discussions with many novice users over the years, we believe this is because most Finale users don’t know how to go that final distance.

The issue here is in dealing with the defaults of the software.  If you only input the music and print with the defaults, then the music will be difficult to read.  In this workshop, Eddie Lewis will show you how to finish the job.

A data disk will be provided at the workshop for you to use in your own writing. This disk will include templates and score examples for you to study.
