I'm currently running Finale 2010 (so much more user friendly than Sibelius). Although I have never used it for scanning before, I did a trial run just a few minutes ago. I placed a simple piano piece, A4 size, on my scanner with Finale up and running, followed the instructions, and it was on screen within a couple of minutes. I had to adjust the page size, but once it was there I could transpose it quite freely, and could make any of the adjustments I normally make to a new score. Hope this helps.

Is the scanning facility built into Finale, rather than as a separate program, as with photoscore and Sibelius?
