Finale Allegro - Music Notation Software

Create New Music

Click on Setup Wizard, choose the instruments or voices you want (or select an ensemble), specify the key and time signature, type in a title and composer’s name and Allegro automatically sets up your score for you. Save your score as a default document or choose from dozens of templates.

Add Notes

Click your notes into place with your mouse.   Play your MIDI keyboard and watch the HyperScribe feature notate as you play.   Scan your music directly into Allegro with the included scanning technology.   Notate as you play your acoustic instrument into a mic using the MicNotator.   Type in notes from your computer or MIDI keyboard with Speedy Note Entry.

Play Back Your Music

Allegro can play back via your MIDI device or through the SmartMusic SoundFont (included). Also included are terrific marching percussion sounds (Bass Drums, Crash Cymbals, Snare Drum, Tenor Drums and more) from Row-Loff Poductions — foremost in marching and concert percussion literature.

Share Your Music

Print the score or parts, Save as an audio file (including MP3) for creating CDs, or save as a MIDI file.

Tweak It

Easily edit all of your MIDI data. Transpose; add lyrics, chord symbols and guitar fretboards; place dynamics, articulations and slurs; extract parts and do everything else you’d expect from a professional level notation program—right at your fingertips.

Or Don't Tweak It

Allegro includes a number of tools that make your music sound great without a lot of tweaking: Human Playback plays your music as you would want it to be performed, with dynamics and phrasing, even if you enter notes with a mouse. Band-in-a-Box Auto-Harmonizing adds two- and three-voice harmonies to your melodies. Add Drum Grooves automatically (and the list of available grooves and styles is easily expanded).
