Description

Finale SongWriter, designed specifically for songwriters, is the fast, easy way to create and print professional-quality sheet music. Import and export MIDI files, enter music with your mouse, computer keyboard or MIDI device to create music with up to 8 staves. Breathe life into sheet music with professional instrument sounds, realistic playback, and creative inspiration. Hear your notes as you enter them, then press Play to hear how they interact. But SongWriter does more than make sounds. SongWriter makes music – and even offers creative suggestions. Your music deserves to be heard with all the feeling and phrasing you imagined when you wrote it. Human Playback makes this possible by playing your music with the nuance and expression of human performers. When Human Playback is combined with the high-quality software instrument sounds built into SongWriter, the results are amazing. Need help harmonizing your melody ? Not sure what the drummer should play ? No problem. SongWriter offers composers and arrangers idea-generating tools to save time and suggest creative options. Band-in-a-Box Auto-Harmonizing can automatically turn your melody into two – or three-voice harmony. Use Drum Groove to easily add custom drum parts in a variety of styles. When you notate your music by hand, changing the key or adding an intro means starting over. When your music is in SongWriter it's easy to change keys, add measures, and move things around any way your creative impulses move you. Don't let great ideas get away! Simply play your MIDI keyboard and music automatically appears in SongWriter. You can also enter notes with your computer keyboard or mouse. SongWriter can open files made by the entire family of Finale software as well as import MIDI and MusicXML files created by hundreds of other products. Should you ever have a question, SongWriter includes QuickStart Videos and other resources, right in the Launch Window.
