I play Bb clarinet in a trio and a quartet (flute, clarinet, cello and flute, clarinet, horn and cello).  We often buy standard classical pieces and rearrange them for us to play.  I recently bought Mozart's Piano Quartets no. 1 & 2, for piano, violin, viola and cello.  I would like to be able to scan the viola part on my scanner/printer into Finale and refigure it for Bb clarinet.  Is that possible?  If so how do I do it?  I have read a lot of stuff about Dolet, Music XML files, and other software, but I can't figure it out.  The only alternative is to transcribe the viola part, note by note, into Finale, transpose it to Bb clarinet, treble clef, and print it out - a tedious task.  Any help will be appreciated.  I am running Windows 10 on a Lenovo PC, and Finale recent update from Print Music.  I don't know how to find the version number.

Finale used to ship with a lite version of SmartScore but in version 25 it was removed.  Evidently, the SmartScore ability to scan in music was so effective people thought it would be abused.  If you pursue a 3rd party solution, you'll want to make sure it creates a MusicXML format so it can be imported into Finale.  I believe SmartScore (http://www.musitek.com/) may offer a discount to Finale users.

You can find the versio of Finale via the About Finale screen accessible (in the Windows version) from the Help menu. In the Mac version, the About Finale option is in the Finale menu.

If you have the 2014.5 version, you still have the scanning/OCR option included in that program.

Thanks to both of you for your quick reply.  I found the version no. as per JAV's direction, and it was 25.2.0.92.

So I'm guessing I do not have the older scanning capability described by Roger.  I will check out his suggested link and see if it works.

Thanks to both of you again.

The is a forum for those who use Finale. Only occasionally do MakeMusic employees appear here.

  1. You should contact Finale directly via their web site at https://makemusic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us#finale or via the "Submit a request" link at the top of this screen.
  2. You should not publish personal information such as your e-mail address here; it invites misuse of your information.
