Erm. I have Finale and I just transposed something for a friend and I was wondering how I would convert it to PDF or some other mainstream image format that I could send to them via email. =/

EDIT: If it helps I also do have BroadGun and the reason I need this mostly is lack of a printer in my home.

There should be an export option in the "File" menu at the top. Choose either GIF or PDF.

If you can't find an option, try printing the document to a file (If you have microsoft office installed, there's a printer named "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer". That'll save to a file that can be opened on any computer with Office installed on it).

Hm. I'm running Finale 2008 >_< That option doesn't seem to be on the list for god knows what purpose. Yes it's registered jeez what a waste. It's great for composing and then what? Anyway I may just try sending the XPS file to her. Though if you'd still try to help me I would like to learn to convert it.

I found a program online called PrimoPDF (it's free, you can find it with google.) It works for me. Once you install it, you open the document you want to save as a PDF in finale, go to print it, but instead of selecting a printer, just select PrimoPDF and it saves it as a PDF~

Since you have Broadgun, go to File > Print, and change the printer to the Broadgun one.

You need to download finale notepad for open .MUS files.
