Both music notation software packages include new features and provide compatibility with current operating systems and files created with Finale 2010
With a list price of $49.95, SongWriter is designed to let songwriters, teachers, band and choir directors, church musicians, students and other musicians create publisher-quality sheet music with instrumentations of up to 8 staves.
SongWriter includes tools including Drum Groove and Band-in-a-Box Auto-Harmonizing. With SongWriter they can hear their music played back using hundreds of built-in sounds, share their music with others using the free downloadable Finale Reader and create .MP3 files for use on iPods and beyond. A mixer, chord input, percussion notation and more control over the printed page are more of the features added in this version.
