MakeMusic, Inc. has released Finale 2007 for Macintosh and Windows computers. This upgrade of the world's best-selling music notation software includes a wide variety of new features designed to enhance productivity and offer unprecedented creative options.

Finale 2007 offers the ability to automatically create and format parts as a score is created; these parts are dynamically linked--always remaining perfectly in sync with the score--but only where this is desirable. The link is intelligent--it knows when to enforce consistency and when to allow differences. Only Finale offers complete control, with the ability to create separate linked parts from a divisi staff in the score or to show different enharmonic spellings between the part and score.

Finale 2007 is the first music notation software that runs natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs, as well as Windows computers. In addition, users of both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs will experience new speed and redraw enhancements. KONTAKT Player 2 is integrated into Finale 2007, employing the latest technology to play back sounds from Garritan Personal Orchestra, included free of charge.

Integrated video support represents just one of the many new creative options in Finale 2007. Imported digital video is automatically synchronized with notation as users compose, edit and play back their score, making it easy to write for film and video.

Additional features include enhanced Human Playback, Update Brackets and Groups, Quick Change, Vertical Collision Remover, updated Playback Controls, enhanced positioning of cross-staff augmentation dots, improved pickup measures, enharmonic spelling in chromatically transposed parts and much more.
