I haven't any experience using 'Finale', though I know it's been the notation software of choice for years. Like M. Ted, I've been using the 'Overture' software. At the time I purchased 'Overture', it did tablature much more efficiently than 'Finale' (which is why I went that direction).

I know the rights to the 'Overture' software were purchased by Cakewalk but I believe it's now distributed by yet another party, Geniesoft.

If your interested in trying out 'Overture' try the Geniesoft music notation site at:

Good luck... Mike
