"Yeah, 5.0 had a couple bug fixes and supports Mac OS 10.7. Wasn't worth it for me, since I just use it to print and/or get scores into Sibelius.
Sibelius comes with PhotoScore which scans hard copies or PDFs. It works reasonably well. I'm…"

Greg Moore replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"In their advertising, Encore 5.0 didn't seem to have much that 4.0 didn't have, except hopefully removing bugs like slapping a treble clef on my trombone parts -- I've gotten so used to just slapping the bass clef back on I'd…"
Steven DeMott replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"Greg, yes - that's been a long standing bug in Encore. My first version of Encore was 1.0 and real-time entry was almost unusable back then. I have 4.5 now...mostly to be able to open and print/export old scores. I don't use it for scoring…"
Greg Moore replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"Steven - this is a really well-drawn picture of real-time entry. In my Encore 4.0 the note-estimator (which has the flexibility to estimate from quarters down to 32nds) does not know what to do with any note played even an instant before the…"
Steven DeMott replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"While what Greg said is true, it's not the whole story. Yes, one way to enter music into notation software is to manually enter each note. Most people start here, but it isn't the most efficient way. There are 2 other ways to enter music…"
Tony Chung replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"I found a couple of music notation programs for iPad that work fairly well: Notion Music and Symphony Pro. Both offer different features. Notion is easier for entering notes, and offers a keyboard and guitar fretboard for entry. I can't…"
Laura Nelson replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"Thanks Pastor Greg. I'll keep plugging away..er, writing? er, tapping? away. Appreciate the helpful information, humor, and support! All the replies have been informative and insightful. Thanks a lot everyone."
Greg Moore replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"No matter what program you use, it takes time and patience to create a score that says what you want to say in music. The programs mentioned can produce a lead sheet reasonably swiftly, though you still need to understand rhythm…"

Laura Nelson replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"I never heard of musescore or Sibeleius? I love this website! The brainstorming sure helps. Thanks for the info! "
Laura Nelson replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"Awesome! Will use the link to check it out. Thanks Steven, appreciate the help."
Lewis Moore replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"I just downloaded musescore and it seems to work fine for me. Once I master it I may download Sibelius. Thanks for the link."
Steven DeMott replied to Laura Nelson's discussion 'Finale Music Notation' in the group New Worship Leaders"I've used (and own) most of the notation packages (Encore, Finale, Sibelius). I would suggest Sibelius. It's easier to use than Finale & is just as powerful. You can download trial versions of both from their websites and try them out…"

Finale Music Notation
Hey all, I'm trying to wrap my brain around software for writing music. Thoroughly confused about what to get. Thoughts on the Finale software? Easy to use with a Yamaha DGX keyboard? I have a mini M box and a Mac. I struggled with the M box for quite some time. Can't get the hang of it. Frustrated. Need some simple software that an idiot can use. :) Just sayin'. Not a computer person here! Thanks.See More

- Thanks for adding me as a friend, Laura. Up here in Canada we have a few worship conferences, the largest being Breakforth in Edmonton, Alberta. Something like14,000 people attending...much too large for my tastes! I enjoyed going when it was only 6,000.
