 Ok for beginning to intermediate composers October 12, 2008
M. Carpenter (virginia)
This particular Finale product is too basic for truly advanced composers/musicians. You can't change time signatures or keys mid-song...there aren't even grace notes. It only transposes the most basic music. If you play above an 8 or so, it won't keep up with you. We even tried it at a 5, and it missed some stuff. It works at a basic level, which is why I gave it a 2, but the features are very limited! Go for/use the advanced, expensive programs if you're at that level. We did and are MUCh happier! This particular program would be Great for a beginner, though!

I've found this product easy to use and was more than worth the price I paid for it. I'm impressed with the ease of transposing my music into what ever key I wish to use.
The only problem I've had is being able to access this on my 2 computers. I have a computer in my studio that I would like to use sometime, but I would have to buy a second copy, even though I am the only user. I will buy a second copy because I believe it's worth it.
 One Stop Music Transcription for Songwriters September 2, 2008
J. C. Snedeker (Winchester, VA)
Are you a songwriter who wants to write notes for your melody, add some lyrics, hear the song played back, print it and save it as an mp3 for easy sharing on the web? If so, with this tool your search has ended. Excellent tutorial videos and help included. Many operations are intuitive just by reading the text in the upper part of the screen.
 Where are the grace notes? August 30, 2008

For the most part Finale Songwriter was very good. The computerized instruments that allowed me to hear my music before I printed it was great. It was not completely the same as a real musician, but I know that will never be possible. The note placing on the staff was so easy and allowed me to write chords so much faster than by hand. Many of the advanced techniques that I wanted to use such as grace notes were not there. I expected all Finale products to have these features. I was severely disappointed when I found that these features were missing. It is very frustrating to me to purchase Finale Songwriter just to find out that I need to purchase the more advanced, more expensive Finale.

Writing music is so easy with Finale Songwriter software. I wish I'd found it sooner. Thank you Finale.
