You most certainly can, but it can get REALLY nasty depending on what you want to do. Start here: http://www.finalemusic.com/usermanuals/finale2011win/content/finale/Nonstandard_key_signatures2.htm
May 30, 201114 yr While you can create the notation for it, Finale does NOT provide a good audio rendering of it. So, it's always good to know what you have in mind.
June 11, 201114 yr Just avoid quarter tones in everything you do, and you'll be fine. The world is a better place without them. :D
June 13, 201114 yr Author A lot of composers don't use it right in my opinion. But if you listen to folkmusic of Turkey then they use it on a logical way. Thanks for your help! But I've made a mistake: I have Printmusic... Sorry! Can you do the same with printmusic?

June 19, 201213 yr Great information. I don't compose using microtones; however, it's great to know how to do it in Finale
