Finale Songbook App for iPad + Dropbox Hint

Finale has released it's first iPad app, Finale Songbook!

Although it is pretty minimal in it's functionality now, hopefully it will continue to evolve just as forScore has evolved over time.  Specifically the integration of Dropbox would be nice, since currently Songbook requires an old school connection to iTunes, OR, you can open the finale .mus file using this workaround:

From within  Dropbox, locate the .mus file you want to open in Songbook.  

Click on the file, then in the upper right corner, find the open in.... icon.  Select the Songbook icon, and you are good to go - no connection to your computer needed. (you will need to have the file in  Dropbox however)

    Just checked this again.... still works!

    1. Make sure you have finale songbook app installed.
    2. Open dropbox
    3. Find the .MUS file you are looking to open.
    4. Select the .mus file by touching it once.
    You will see at the top of the dropbox window that box with an arrow going up. Click it.
    5. Click "Open with......"
    6. You would see Songbook as an option.

    Let me know if you still have issues!
