Creating SmartMusic Accompaniments

You can create your own SmartMusic assessment files in Finale, as well as solos with accompaniment, exercises, and warm-ups. You can save any Finale Notation File or MIDI file as a SmartMusic Public Accompaniment file (.SMPX) and even include the solo notation file to be displayed in the SmartMusic interface during the performance.
