My good old Finale 2012 can handle only ONE audio clip. Can newer version handle more (multiple) audio clips?

Finale's audio options include the ability to add an audio track to your document suited for either recording a live performance or inserting an external audio file.
Finale is not a DAW. You can export to a DAW (MIDI or MusicXML if supported by the DAW) for adding audio tracks or sync a DAW to Finale 25 via Rewire.

Thank you very much for your comment, Mr. Halloran. It helps much.
I agree that FINALE is not a DAW and much appreciate its ability as a notation/engraver software. However, I thought that, if I can attach several audio clips onto one (or two favorably) track(s), I can first arrange those clips then write music, in a sense, to correspond to such audio clips and also adjust the music and the audio easily thereafter.
My image is Schoenberg's "The Survivor of Warsaw". Schoenberg wrote his sketch on a paper with pencil, but, if I could put real audio monologue on the sheet music of FINALE, I think, the composing such type of music would be much easier and smoother than a century ago. Consequently, it could broaden the scope of FINALE and contribute to its ability.
The best you can do in Finale is attach a stereo audio file.

Again, Finale 25 has Rewire support for syncing a DAW. You could use that to generate multiple tracks in sync. Then you can bounce them to stereo and attach that to your Finale doc.
