Product Benefits:

• Eases the learning curve for composers, and helps them develop the skills necessary to see Finale as an extension of their imagination, rather than a difficult to use piece of computer software.
• Unlike those other books on Finale, the book is aimed squarely at composers -- not at engravers, copyists, and other Finale users.
• Provides simple step-by-step instructions for completing common Finale tasks.
• Not a comprehensive guide to Finale – focuses on what composers really need to know to help them use Finale to make better music.
