What is a .LSN file?

A .LSN file is a type of document known as a Finale Lesson File, which is used with the MakeMusic Finale software. This software is designed for creating and editing musical scores. The .LSN file specifically contains a music lesson, which includes a variety of exercises and the settings for different musical instruments, like pianos or guitars. These lessons are useful for musicians who want to practice and improve their skills.

The .LSN format was used in versions of Finale up to 27.0. However, starting from version 27.1, MakeMusic no longer supports the creation of new .LSN files, although you can still open existing .LSN files with the software. This means if you have older lesson files, you can still use them with the latest versions of Finale.

To open a .LSN file, you need to use the MakeMusic Finale software. In versions of Finale before 27.1, you could create these lesson files by starting the program, selecting File → New → Exercise Wizard, and then following the instructions to set up your lesson. This setup process allowed you to add various musical exercises such as scales, intervals, and arpeggios. You could also choose the key, specify articulation patterns, and select the instruments for which the lesson was intended. Additionally, you had options to customize how the lesson would appear when printed, including choices for font style and page size.

MakeMusic Finale is widely recognized for its comprehensive tools that assist in writing and recording music compositions. It's particularly valued for its ability to notate music precisely and play it back, which is essential for composers, music educators, and anyone involved in music production.
