Finale 2012b Interface Changes
"Program Options" have been renamed "Preferences." To access the Preferences, choose Finale 2012 > Preferences.
The File menu has been reorganized. Several File menu commands have been moved into new Import and Export submenus, as well as new commands added to 2012b. See “File menu” in the User Manual for details.
Undefined text inserts appear gray and do not print. Undefined text inserts, such as those that appear in the first page header after finishing the Setup Wizard, are now gray in color, indicating they will not print. You can update these inserts directly in the score using the Text tool. See “Text Inserts” in the User Manual for details.
Staff Styles now support staff transpositions. The ability to include staff transpositions in Staff Styles has been restored (allowing Staff Styles to be an alternative method for creating mid-score instrument changes). See “Staff Styles dialog box” in the User Manual for details.

New Features in Finale 2012b
• Range Checking. Finale now alerts you when notes are outside of an instrument's range.
• Automatic Transposition while Copying. Music is now pasted into the most appropriate octave when copied between instruments of different registers. Also, music is transposed into the most appropriate register when changing instruments with the ScoreManager.
• Accessible Text Inserts. You no longer need to venture into a dialog box to edit text inserts. You can now edit them directly in the score like a regular text box. When you do so, the text insert's definition is updated respectively.
• SVG Graphic Export. You can now export Scaled Vector Graphics from Finale.
• EPUB Export. You can now export EPUB files from Finale for viewing on mobile readers.
• New Finale Lyrics Font. This font improves lyric spacing, and is the new default for scores created with the Document Setup Wizard.
• Automatic Font Annotation. Finale can now automatically generate Font Annotation Files to accommodate files with 3rd-party music fonts.
• New Aria Player. Finale includes the latest Aria Player from Garritan.
