Editorial Review: Product Description: In Finale Guitar you've got a powerful new set of music notation tools that any guitar player needs! It's the great new tool for any fretted instrument players and composers! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wasted my money on this oneI used to use Encore, which was great, but the publisher went out of business and my old version wouldn't run on Win XP. So I bought Finale Guitar. What a mistake. IMHO, Finale is not even a proper GUI application. This program has the worst interface I have ever seen, to the point of being almost unuseable unless you spend hours a day with it. Here's what I mean: In a typical Windows program, you select an object and then the program shows you what you can do with it. ... Read More Rating:  - Beware of LimitationsI have gone from the the free Notepad program to, I think it was, Notepad Plus? Then when I found out that those programs could not have more than one time signature in a piece I decided to go with Finale Guitar. This program WAS able to do this. Then I found out that if I place a pickup measure at the start of a piece and wanted to place a repeat back to the beginning I could not do this from half-way through a measure.

If you have managed finally to dispense with all your "classic" Mac applications, you'll want to think twice before ordering this one. It's so "classic" that the Installer tells you it can't be run under OS X but you must REBOOT into OS 9 before installing! This was a shock, because the same company's Finale NotePad -- surely the best value in free software anywhere! -- does run native ... Read More Rating:  - Great for a Beginner or Advanced Musician-at a low priceI received this software on Christmas this year in addition with a MIDI keyboard. This software is excellent! Some say that they prefer Sibelius software but I disagree. This software gives you the power to enter notes in seconds, play with a swing feeling, print, and publish to the web in seconds. If people tell you that this software is aggravating then they do not know what they are talking about. Even if you don't have a MIDI connection, you can simply type notes in on your computer keyboard. If you ... Read More |
