Finale: An Easy Guide to Music Notation

Rating:
Summary: This book is well written, but outdated
Review: I'm a novice Finale user, composer and guitar player. Hoping to solidify my Finale skills, (absolutely love the software), I quickly found this book is full of OUTDATED material (I've got Fianle 2004/Win). All of the document/program options have been restructured, guitar notation/TAB has been overhauled, expressions are handled differently, and tools have even been renamed since this book was written. Sure the basics are there, but the Installation and Tutorials manual already provides basic instruction. Some material takes you through steps no longer necessary. If you want to dig into a newer Finale version, you will find this book very confusing.
