Advanced Music Sharing Functionality

Music is better when it’s shared, and with Finale, there are more ways to share than ever.

Plus, Finale now enables you to quickly and easily share your notated documents with anybody. Without leaving the app, you can upload and share privately or publicly.

Standard Music Font Layout (SMuFL) Support

SMuFL is a growing comprehensive standard that organizes musical characters into a common layout so music fonts are displayed correctly in every notation application that supports it. Spend less time searching for or creating musical symbols and more time making music.

Native Installation of JW Plug-ins

With the release of Finale v27.3, eight popular JW Plug-ins are included with no additional installation required. The eight plug-ins included are: JW Change, JW Accidentals, JW Copy Part Layout, JW Note Spacing, JW Patterns, JW Rhythm Copy, JW Space Empty Rests, and JW Staff Polyphony.

Revised Instrument List

Finale's revised instrument list ensures your notation looks great the first time—no matter which instruments you’ve chosen—and that you hear the correct sounds when playing a document. More instruments have been added to the list, making it easier for you to choose when starting a new document or editing an existing one.

MusicXML 4.0

The latest version of MusicXML provides even more control when transporting your compositions. With more information than ever now being captured in a MusicXML file, you’ll be able to efficiently and confidently send files between practically any modern music software.
