There was a pretty interesting announcement for Finale users earlier this week that I hadn't seen mentioned here yet.
Finale users have been limited in their ability to display and playback scores within a web browser, or to sell scores securely over the Internet. The new musicRAIN 2.0 software from mediaRAIN should change this. musicRAIN is an interactive sheet music player created for sales of digital sheet music. It uses Macromedia Flash Player 8, so no additional downloads are needed to use it in a web browser. The application reads music in the MusicXML 1.1 format and lets you transpose for printing and playback. It can be customized to meet the needs of individual digital sheet music retailers. We've created an example on our Recordare site that shows the same Finale file saved both to PDF format and to MusicXML format for use with musicRAIN. The musicRAIN example was loaded directly from the MusicXML 1.1 file created by our Dolet 3 for Finale plug-in. You can see this example at: http://www.recordare.com/xml/example11.html For more information about the musicRAIN player, see the mediaRAIN site at: http://www.mediarain.com/musicrain/index.php Best regards, Michael Good Recordare LLC www.recordare.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
