 Good enought to buy again! June 29, 2008

This program is a slick way to work with music and to get into some of the finer details. It's the second copy I've bought. One was for the Grandmother that plays piano and flute because she needs a way to convert music to easier keys or write a second part for flute # 2. And, the second copy was for our grandson who has a completely different taste in music but likes to fool with electronics and downloads files that this program can play and print. Both are happy with the use of this software.
Good, but some things could be improved May 5, 2008

I bought this to digitize alot of songs for my students. It is a good product, but there are certain things that could be improved. For simple note entry everything works great. It is only in the more complex songs or when you use chord symbols that the process becomes time consuming.
Works great January 12, 2008

As a high school band teacher, this is just the product I have been looking for to write easy and quick numbers for my pep band. So simple to set up and print. I love being able to do everything in the concert key, and then it does all the instrument transpositions. I only wish it had a few more options for paper sizing, but what I haven't been able to figure out, I can do with "shrink" function on my copier.
 Absolutely wonderful software January 9, 2008

I upgraded to this product from Finale Songwriter 2005, which I did not use for two years because it had no provision for adjusting within the software the volume of playback to my instrument (a Yamaha Clavinova piano) or the volume of a MIDI recording. Finale product support claimed that there was no need for such a feature since all I had to do was adjust the volume on my MIDI instrument . However, I like to use music editors to play either one part of a duet, or to play the same score in order to help me learn a piece. That is, I want both the editor and myself to play the same instrument at the same time. Unfortunately, the 2005 version of Songwriter played so strongly that I had to turn the piano volume all the way down, in which case I could not hear myself playing. The person I spoke to at Finale product support at that time claimed that none of their products, even their high-end versions costing hundreds of dollars, supported what I wanted. How foolish I thought. So for the last two years I used another editor, called Play Music by Notation Technologies. However, Play Music lacks many of the nice entry features of Finale editors. Also, it tends to crash occasionally. Still, I put up with those shortcomings for the simple reason that Play Music met my requirements for playback.
Just recently I was made to realize that Finale Print Music 2008 supported exactly want I want to do. They do it by including what they call a mixer in the software. The mixer allows for adjustment of the volume of the playback. I am so happy that they did this since in every other way I prefer a Finale editor over Play Music.
I am running the Finale Print Music 2008 software on a Windows XP (Home Edition) and I have not experienced any operational problems. I am very happy with this software.
 compatibility issues January 1, 2008

While I've used other Finale products, Printmusic is NOT fully compatible with Vista. Their technical support staff were not able to resolve the issue I've had - namely that the computer would freeze after using the product for about three minutes. Don't purchase it through a download - they won't issue a refund for that.
