Just like the musical term it is named after, Finale Allegro 2007 Music Notation Software is quick and lively when it comes to meeting notation needs. The launch window gives simple, single mouse-click options, including a Setup Wizard, pre-designed templates, and default documents for starting new projects. There's also several buttons ways for automatically opening and importing existing files.
The Exercise Wizard button makes teaching a snap as it takes you to an area where you can create quizzes, tests, and worksheets that your students can later open, edit, print and play with via the free, downloadable Finale NotePad.
For your students, the bottom half features a Tip of the Day, as well as buttons for the QuickStart Video tutorials, user manuals, and a tutorial guide, giving them even more guidance when you're unavailable.
Finale Allegro 2007 features a new powerful mixer and intuitive Human Playback function offering a variety of musical styles, from marching bands to symphonic orchestra. Using SmartMusic SoundFont's over 128 sounds, the Row-Loff marching percussion sounds, and softsynth included, students will be able to hear real-world versions of their composition with every bit of subtlety in the phrasing and dynamics that they envisioned. Other components that will help make their composing life easier are Band-in-a-Box Auto Harmonizing which creates two- and three-part harmonies, and automatic lyric placement which spaces lyrics to the notes they're attached to. They also get customizable percussion notation, chord symbols, and guitar fretboards, all with multiple undo - a great necessity for when you're learning.
Using the included SmartScore Lite by Musitek program, you can accurately scan pre-notated music, or import SmartScore 3.0 files and download MIDI files and have them automatically notated as well for your students to learn. MicNotator does the same thing, notating the music you play on brass or woodwind instruments into a microphone.
Don't be andante, get Finale Allegro 2007 and your notation teaching will be forte, facile, and piacevole.
