Print Music. Wasn't sure where to post this question Has anyone used both of these notation software? I currently use Print Music. Currently downloaded a 30 free trial of Finale, but thought I'd ask those of you who have used Finale and Print Music for your opinion.
Is it worth it to upgrade to Finale? Thank you! I've not used Print Music or Finale. When I was teaching, the college used a program they described as the industry standard notation editor called Sibelius.
I now use Linux for my operating system and Sibelius don't do a Linux version. The Notation Editor I now use is called Musescore. It works on Linux, Macs and Windows.
It's free, has a good online manual and is fully featured right out of the box, no trial period or registration. It looks as good as Sibelius and some of the functions work the same as Sibelius.
In other ways it's quite different. Seeing as it's a free download why not give it a try. You need version 2 plus if you want to write guitar tab. Originally Posted by Livingston.

Finale PrintMusic for Windows has most of the features you expect to find in professional music notation software, including manual step-time entry, a volume mixer and a guitar chord diagram creator.
Finale PrintMusic for Windows has most of the features you expect to find in the best music notation software , including manual step-time entry, a volume mixer and a guitar chord diagram creator. Keep in mind that the PrintMusic version only works on Windows computers. This music composition software has an impressive set of note entry and editing palettes, yet it's easy enough to use that you can quickly start composing quality music with very little instruction.
Each tool on every palette includes a tooltip that activates when you place your cursor over it. These brief tool descriptions cut down on the time you need to spend thumbing through a manual, scanning online help files or watching video tutorials.
Finale PrintMusic performed well in our ease of use tests, but it doesn't have a virtual piano to help you precisely place notes like Sibelius First does. Like many of the music notation programs we reviewed, PrintMusic lets you enter notes using your computer keyboard; no external MIDI equipment is required, but a midi keyboard is compatible. You simply press the Caps Lock key to transform your computer keyboard from a letter-entering tool to a note-entering tool.
