Finale's Simple Note Entry method can be used to enter notes onto a staff using computer keyboard letters for pitch names and the numeric keypad numbers for selecting rhythmic values (4=eighth note, 5=quarter note, 6=half note, etc.).
Here are several exercises to get you started entering music into the Finale music editor:
- Mary Had A Little Lamb which introduces pitch and duration entry in the Simple Note Entry mode of Finale.
- Bach prelude in F minor which introduces chord note entry and other essential notational components.
- A chorale which introduces the concept of layers in Finale.
Tips
For laptops without numeric keypads, after clicking on the "Simple Entry Tool", go to the Simple menu --> Simple Entry Options... --> click on "Edit Keyboard Shortcuts..." --> click "Name" drop-down menu and select "Laptop Shortcut Table".
