Finale Files

Since the size and make-up of jazz bands can differ from week to week, Finale files (currently 2007) will be available to subscribers on a chart-by-chart basis. Any band director who has ever re-done parts to customize it to the size of their band knows how long it takes to input music to get it to "fit" just right for their band to play. While there is a download fee, think of the time you will save by not having to re-write your trombone parts for two french horns, guitar and bass clarinet. Just a few clicks are all that is needed using Finale to transpose and print the new parts. Lead trumpet player just got braces? Just a few clicks are all that is needed to produce the chart in a new key; same chart, two keys what a great sight-reading tool! The time saving benefits of having Finale files are endless. I'm sure any band director will agree.
