Finale Notepad

Add Dynamics and Tempo Markings to your score

Entry is quick and easy, and all items look great, are automatically positioned, and change playback appropriately.

Drag and Drop Expressions

To reposition existing dynamics and tempo markings simply drag them anywhere in your score: clear visual feedback dynamically changes as you drag showing you what each selected expression is attached to.

Easy Expression Editing

Quickly change existing dynamics and tempo markings while retaining positioning. Just double-click the expression handle and select another expression from the selection grid.
