MakeMusic also offers several less expensive versions of Finale (currently available for Microsoft Windows only), which do not contain all of the main program's features. In addition, most scorewriters, including Finale, are able to use software-based synthesizers to 'play' the sounds of the notated music and record the music-an especially useful feature for novice composers, when no musicians are readily available, or if a composer cannot afford to hire musicians. A scorewriter is to music notation what a word processor is to text, in that they both allow fast corrections (via the 'undo' button), flexible editing, easy sharing of content (via the Internet or compact storage media), and production of a clean, uniform layout.
