Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this for roughly a month and I love it. Let me go through my uses and skill level so you understand what I've needed so you can determine if this is the right one for you. (I spent a lot of time debating since there's such a huge price difference between this and the full version, or even Allegro).
First - understand that you can always update your version to Allegro or full via the Finale website for the difference in price. That helped me be even more comfortable with my purchase.
I am a musical hobbyist and (very) part-time instructor. I use Finale to write out my musical ideas so I can mess around with other instruments and parts which I may not have available or even know how to play. Often, being able to SEE what I've written allows me to arrange better--some people need to hear and play, and I am not like this. At least not yet. I also love taken written songs and creating new arrangements for them. I'm a big geek so I love arranging video game songs on piano or guitar. It's so easy to find midi files online and I just open the file in Print Music and viola! I have the whole song written out. Saves me hours upon hours of listening and re-listening and frustration until I'm tired of the song. If I had to find a gripe, the only one would be that the tabbing tool is poorly put together, and that sucks since my primary instrument is guitar. But honestly it doesn't ruin anything, it's just annoying (I'd ding it .01 stars for that if I could).
