Book Reviews of Finale: An Easy Guide to Music Notation, Second Edition

Book Review: Helpful but now ideal.
Summary: 4 Stars

This was helpful to me but they need a new edition because with the new Finale it is not up to date with the graphics of the program. I have not gotten into it totally so I may like it more later. I struggle with Finale because their online help is terrible so you may need this.
