Finale NotePad 2006: Get it while you still can!

[The MNP Blog]

MakeMusic, Inc. has announced that in the next few weeks they will
stop offering older versions of their Finale NotePad software for free
download from their website. (They will start charging $10 for
NotePad 2009, and offer a new free Finale Reader that has no editing
functions.)

This means that anyone who might be interested in using John Keller's
method for transnotating traditional music notation into chromatic-
staff notations using Finale software should go and download NotePad
2006 right now! Here's the link:

NotePad 2006 was the last version with the feature that let you copy
and then paste blank (alternative) staff styles onto existing
(traditionally) notated music. This is the best way to transnotate
music using Finale software. If you own the full, paid version of
Finale, it still has this feature, but NotePad 2006 is the last of the
free NotePad line to have it. Get it while you can!
