not sure about how you get your finale data into it.
If Finale exports MuiscXML you can use NoteEdit
(
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html)
to import it and to export to LilyPond. It is a WYSIWYG musical
score editor. Therefore you can make some corrections before
exporting it.
BTW: It can also export ABC music (
http://www.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc,
http://abcplus.sourceforge.net/) which was also mentioned in this
thread (and MusixTeX and PMX,
http://icking-music-archive.org)
And implicitely MUP (
http://www.arkkra.com) because MUP is
the native file storage format of NoteEdit.
It can import/export MIDI. And I don't know how many voices per staff
Finale can deal with: NoteEdit offers up to 9 voices per staff.
During replay it highlights the played notes
in red color and it pays attention to the following symbols:
- repeat
- volta
- dal segno (al Fine, al Coda)
- (De-)Crescenso (hairpins)
- ritardando, accelerando
- tempo signatures
- fermata, trills
- stacatto
- piano pedal marks
And you can attach guitar chord diagrams and lyrics.
And you can read the music form a MIDI keyboard attached to your
soundcard.
