SmartScore saves native ENF files to both the .FIN and .XML formats. Both formats can be opened in Finale or PrintMusic. With the continued improvement and broadening support of the MusicXML format, we generally recommend saving SmartScore files in the .XML format. These files will also open in other notation programs such as Sibelius, Personal Composer, etc. I saved a .FIN file in SmartScore but it will not open in Finale 2003/2004 (Mac Only) Issue: If an ENF file is closed (and saved) AFTER saving it as a .FIN file, a dialog asks if you want to save current file as a .FIN file. Workaround: Save the open ENF file BEFORE saving it as a .FIN file. Dialog will not ask if you want to save current file as a .FIN file.

When printing my score on “normal-sized” paper, the music is too large for the paper. SmartScore prints smaller than my original (with All-In-One scanner).
