Finale is the flagship program of a series of proprietary scorewriters
created by MakeMusic for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. Finale is
regarded as one of the industry standards for notation software.
MakeMusic also offers several less expensive versions of Finale, with
subsets of the main program's features. These include SongWriter and
PrintMusic, as well as a freeware program, Finale Notepad, which
allows only rudimentary editing. Discontinued versions include Finale
Guitar, Notepad Plus, Allegro, and the free Finale Reader.

The default "Untitled" document is a 31-measure piece for a single
treble clef instrument. A Setup Wizard, an alternative method of
starting a project, consists of a sequence of dialogs allowing the
user to specify the instrumentation, time signature, key signature,
pick-up measure, title and composer, as well as certain aspects of
score and page layout. Finale's current default music notation font is
Maestro.

Finale's tools are organized into multiple hierarchically organized
palettes, and the corresponding tool must be selected to add or edit
any particular class of score element, (e.g., the Smart Shape tool to
generate and edit trill lines and dynamics "hairpins" (so-named
because the symbols resemble women's hairpins); the Staff tool to add
and edit the parameters of individual staves). Alongside these tools,
additional controls are available to view or hide up to four
superimposed layers of music that can be entered onto any particular
staff, for purposes of organizing multiple contrapuntal voices on the
same staff. Several of Finale's tools provide an associated menu just
to the left of the Help menu, available only when that particular tool
is selected. Thus, the operation of Finale bears at least some surface
similarities to Adobe Photoshop.
On the screen, Finale provides the ability to color code several
elements of the score as a visual aid; on the print-out all score
elements are black (unless color print-out is explicitly chosen). With
the corresponding tool selected, fine adjustment of each set of
objects in a score are possible either by clicking and dragging or by
entering measurements in a dialog box. A more generalized selection
tool is also available to select large measure regions for editing key
and time signatures, or transposing, among others. This tool also
provides the ability to reposition several classes of score object
directly, and more recent versions of the software have implemented
extensive contexual menuing via this tool.
