Hello!

This is my first post to the forums, although I have been a Finale user for at least 8 years. I am in the process of converting two Sibelius users to the great and mighty power of Finale, and they were surprised by the "Add Finale to your toolbox" video that was shared by MakeMusic: finalemusic[dot]com/products/finale/finale-vs-sibelius/, especially with the part where the demonstrator showed an image of a circular score. They asked if it was really possible to do that. Understanding the flexibility of Finale, I answered yes, but I do not know how such a thing is done.

Could someone walk me through making a score as in the video I shared?

Thanks!

Do a Google search for Finale graphic scores. Take a look at the images, and follow some of the links.

What you're asking isn't something that can be easily explained in a short list of steps. Good Luck!

You can start by opening the Billings Connection that comes with Finale 2012 (which your profile says you are using).
