35 years ago, Coda Music Technologies, now MakeMusic, revolutionized the music notation industry with the release of Finale. However, after decades of development and technological advancements, MakeMusic has made the difficult decision to end the development of Finale. Instead, they are encouraging users to transition to Dorico, a new notation software developed by Steinberg. Dorico has quickly become a leading product in the industry since its launch in 2016, offering advanced features and tools. MakeMusic is offering a special discount to Finale users to help facilitate the transition to Dorico. While the end of Finale is bittersweet, MakeMusic is excited for users to embark on a new journey with Dorico.
