5 out of 5 stars Excellent value   December 21, 2008
Vincent J. Dimento (Malvern, PA)
I'm a professional musician and I own other sequencing/recording software which literally costs ten times more. The main reason for this purchase was to have a fast and convenient way to record melodic ideas on my laptop while away from my home setup. This product is not without it's few minor glitches and limitations but at $49.95, it's an incredible value for pros and novices alike. I've already recommended it to other musicians and music lovers. It's an incredible collaborative tool since you can convert files to mp3 and sent them to other people thousands of miles away. Inspiration can strike at any time. I've lost so many great ideas because I was away from my home studio but not anymore! I've had it for about a month now and it's already proven to be a valuable addition. Go ahead and buy it!

Finale SongWriter br /Despite the steep learning curve, I love this software! br /I am an adult beginner piano student. I surprised my piano teacher when I presented her with the beautiful, professional score of an original song.


4 out of 5 stars Limited but works well for the price.   November 9, 2008

Finale Songwriter works well if you're low on cash and can't afford the full version. Once learned, even entering complex rhythms becomes fairly easy and quick. There are several limitations to it, however many of them can be worked around. (For example: If you want to enter 4 chord symbols over a single measure with a whole note, you'll have to enter 4 quarter notes tied to get it to work; Also, it won't let you change the number of staves in a piece). There are some other limitations as well, but, overall, a very useful tool for anybody in music. -Darius Sharpe


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Program   November 1, 2008
R. Gensman (Oklahoma)
I was a little skeptical of the program because earlier reviews seemed that the procedure of writing and printing music was going to be a little more difficult than I could handle. However, the simplicity of this program is incredible! I installed the program, printed and read the instructions, and worked through a little of the tutorial. Then, within about 30 minutes I had entered an old hymn, transposed to another key and printed. I love Finale Songwriter 2007. br /Clarese


4 out of 5 stars Pretty dang good for around 30 dollars!   October 28, 2008

I love this program! I like to doodle around and attempt melodic dictation. Plus it's really helpful since I'm a music major, and can put in music and hear what it sounds like. Although it has no grace notes. Other than that, there's nothing bad I can say about it. It's wonderful. I like that you can change the sounds of the instruments so that if I have to use weird instruments because that staff is weird, I don't have to hear it that way (ex. 4 lines of piano music, with 3 treble clefs and only one bass clef, so I used piccolo, flute, oboe, and bassoon, then changed it so it sounds like piano) And it works beautifully with my Mac, no problems at all. :D
