Getting new toys are always fun, even if it's a macbook. Good on ya for finale though, that's a good buy! What does this particular version do special? Is it just for chord charts?
I'm a composer. I write symphonies and orchestral music. I started out at Baylor with the intention of getting my degree in music composition. I had a full 'bootleg' (no one official is reading this right?) version of Finale when I was in composition classes.
But since, I have come to my senses and became a Mac person. The version of Finale I had was a PC only copy.
So, I've been using an old mac version of printmusic and notepad from the finale website. But now I need a solid notation software that will run on the intel processor of this lovely mac i'm typing on. finale's notepad will only write up to like 4 lines of score at a time!!! goo!!!
So, I just bought a bona fide copy of PrintMusic. It'll write like 20 lines of score, which means I can finally write some more symphonies. I've gone back to pen and paper as of late. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as Finale 2007 does, but it's definately got more than enough.
Ok, now I"m rambling...
I'll use it for chord sheets as well, it gives fret pictures and all. But I can't wait to get back to orchestrations. Yeah... I'm a geek!
Dude, I know I am not suppose to covet, but that was before Mac Book Pros! Will you use it for programming any music?
