There's room for a bit of improvement still: for example, Scroll view scores get stubbornly magnetised to the top of your monitor in full‑screen view, when you might prefer to be able to place them where you want. Carbon, the transitional graphics technology used in Finale 2012 and earlier, isn't a safe bet for future versions of OS X, so this change is timely. As a core OS X technology, Cocoa allows the new version to offer a proper native full‑screen mode, support for high‑resolution Retina displays, and enables multi‑touch gestures like pinch‑to‑zoom.

The Mac code has received considerable attention, and now has a Cocoa‑based graphical interface. In this review, I'm going to concentrate only on things that have actually changed.įirst, MakeMusic have taken the opportunity to do some backroom work in Finale 2014. And for that reason I'll refer readers to my Finale 2012 review at /sos/dec12/articles/finale-2012.htm for an in‑depth examination of key Finale concepts, design and interface aspects. Users of the most recent few versions could dive right in and feel completely comfortable. One thing's for sure: Finale 2014 is, to recycle an old saying, evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Certainly there's everything to play for in the notation market, so does Finale 2014 have what it takes to re‑establish the dominance of past eras? Gradual Gains

Interesting, but pure speculation.Īmidst all this angst, MakeMusic, who develop Finale (and also Garritan software instruments) have striven on, with every sign that things at their Minnesota HQ are going swimmingly. And just to make things more interesting, the old UK‑based Sibelius development team,deemed surplus to requirements by Avid, have been head‑hunted by Yamaha, and that has generated its own gossip, with talk of some all‑singing, giant‑slaying new application waiting in the wings. What's more, rumours of its imminent demise are amazingly persistent, even though there's nothing to suggest that'll actually happen. Its main competitor, Sibelius, was bought by Avid in 2006, and though it has gained features in recent years, some of these, such as its ribbon interface, have alienated some loyal users. Two years have flown by, and we have the latest iteration, Finale 2014, which enters a notation‑software market in mild turmoil. There was never any doubting its power and potential, but it readily upheld its reputation as a complex application with roots in the 'old school' of software design.

We found the venerable Mac and PC notation package a capable performer, if a little weighed down with the baggage from several decades of development.

MakeMusic's Finale is the one constant in a rapidly changing notation software market, and the 2014 version is better than ever.įinale is one of the longest-established notation packages for Mac OS and Windows, and was last reviewed in SOS back in 2012.
