I am taking a jazz composition class, remembered that there was some sort of auto-harmony plug-in...but in ...

Re: Learning Finale

Do you have access to Lynda.com? They provide excellent tutorials, including Finale. Your educational institution may offer access. Thank you for this.

Learning Finale

I've used Finale a bit in the past. Now have to use it for a jazz composing and arranging class. What is the best way you found to learn Finale? Is it using their tutorials?
