Finale Allegro is a lower cost alternative to Finale 2007, giving educators, performing musicians, composers, arrangers and worship directors all the MIDI and notation tools they need to create publisher-quality scores, while leaving out the detailed engraving options found in Finale.
Create music the way you do with paper and pencil - writing all the music as you go with one utensil. It is all the function of Simple Note Entry as you knew it, plus the power of Speedy Note Entry, with additional control. It may become the way you get most things done in Allegro.
Click notes onto the staff or use MIDI to indicate pitch. Or input notes with the numeric pad and keys 'A' 'B' 'C' 'D' 'E' 'F' and 'G.' Change octave. Enter rests. Add accidentals. Add notes in a chord to an existing note. Create triplets. Now add grace notes.
But entering notes is just the start. Enter articulations on the fly or 'lock-in' an articulation to place on several notes. Change the key or time signature simply with key commands. Re-pitch existing notes, regardless of their durations, using any of the note-entry methods to re-pitch these rhythms. Change layers or create multiple voice lines on the staff as you write or edit.
