I'm just starting my adventure with notes. I would like to write this note to our Zaiks, that is, to record songs by song. In Poland, you need to have notes in the form of pdf or printed. I need to write a melodic line and piano accompaniment. A total of three systems. Will free notepad finale give advice? :lol:

Yes, Notepad will let you write it, as long as it's fairly basic.

Simple? This means that I will be able to write in the notes, for example triplet note ?

Thanks :) I installed. One more question. How to enter text under the notes?

You would do that with the Lyrics tool.

You are limited to one verse in Notepad. Here’s an old comparison chart listing the features in each of the Finale versions for Windows (Finale 25 is the only version offered for the Mac).

I can’t find the latest chart that includes 25 and drops Songwriter but the above does include Notepad 2012, the latest version.
