The “Tip of the Day” is one of the first things you see when you launch Finale. It’s right there on the Launch Window. But who looks? I admit I often skim over the tip.

Here’s what I saw in my Launch Window this morning:

For some reason I glanced at the tip today, which was about adding linked parts to older files, and thought: “That’s a great tip – I should write a blog about that!” Then I remembered that I already HAD written a blog about that.

Then I realized that the “Tip of the Day” is a resource we could all make better use of – and is probably worthy of a blog post unto itself.

See the arrows to the right of “Tip of the Day?” They let you move through the tips in case you want to revisit a past tip, or skip ahead.

My usual blog post modus operandi is to offer a tip like the one above and go on to explain it more detail. But this time the tip is that simple – check out the Tip of the Day. Moving forward, I’m challenging myself to actually look at the tip every time I open Finale. Who knows, in addition to learning something I might even get an idea for a blog post!
