Quote from: BlackDragonSlayer on July 07, 2012, 02:30:16 PMFinale Notepad seems to hate me; I already have the song semi-arranged on another program, but I can't seem to transcribe it over that well to Finale. It's surprisingly difficult to work with.
I really don't understand why people continue to torture themselves with Finale Notepad, it's like cancer.. Check out www.musescore.org, it's open source and is 100% free. Made by the users, for the users, regularly updated. It might take time to get used to at first but it supports much much more than finale notepad, including cross-staff beaming, etc, and it will never ask you for money. Export your music to MusicXML (.xml) format, then open it in musescore.
