The Jazz Font simulates the "handwritten" look of the Real Book charts many jazz musicians are familiar with. All registered users of Finale, Allegro, or PrintMusic! receive a free copy of the Jazz Font.

You have two options for beginning a new document using the Jazz Font.

1. Using the Setup Wizard.
* From the File menu, choose New > Document with Setup Wizard…
* Set up your Title and instruments.
* On the final (fourth) page of the Wizard, you will have the option to choose either the Jazz Font or the Maestro Font (Finale’s default music font).

2. From a Jazz Template File.
* From the File menu, choose New > Document from Template…
* In the Templates folder within your Finale folder, you will see the Jazz Font Default File and the Jazz Font Lead Sheet. There is also a Jazz Band template in the Band subfolder that uses the Jazz Font.
* Choose any of these and click Open.
