Finale の「Clear Selected Items」と同じ「フィルタを指定して削除」を追加しました。編集 →「フィルタを指定して削除…」（右クリックメニューからも可）で、選択した小節や音符からチェックした項目だけを取り除きます。たとえば強弱記号だけ、コードネームだけを消せます。
「フィルタを指定してペースト」が右クリックメニューからも使えるようになり、「なし」「すべて」ボタンと音部記号の選択（常に・しない・音部記号が変わるとき）が付きました。ペーストと削除のフィルタは小節の項目にも使えます：調号、拍子記号、小節線・反復記号とジャンプ、段区切りとページ区切り、リハーサルマークと「Allegro」などのテンポ表示。2つのウインドウは見やすい2列になりました。
PDF を開く：1番かっこ・2番かっこ、セーニョ、コーダ、D.C./D.S./Fine、オクターブ線、トリル・モルデント・ターンも読み込むようになりました。続けて印刷されたパート譜は、すべての楽器をそれぞれの名前で含むスコアになり、各パートが繰り返すテンポ、リハーサルマーク、テキストは一度だけ表示されます。
言葉で書かれたジャンプが重ならなくなりました。続く2つの小節が「Fine」「D.S. al Coda」「To Coda」などで終わるとき、2つ目の小節が必要なだけ広がります。
Windows：書き出した PDF がすっきりし、各ページにはそのページのテキストだけが含まれます。

Finale の .mus ファイル：Finale 2011・2012 で保存したファイルの歌詞と、ページのテキスト（ヘッダー、出典の注記、校訂者名など）が表示されるようになり、タイトルと作曲者も Finale と同じように表示されます。1段目の上のテキストのぶん、楽譜は下から始まります。
譜表グループの小節線：グループ全体を貫く、各譜表の上のみ（合唱でよく使う形）、譜表の間のみ（メンズーアシュトリヒ）から選べます。楽器ウインドウか譜表のメニューで設定し、MusicXML と Finale の .musx でも読み書きします。
譜表名を1段目だけに表示できるようになりました（合唱譜でよく使う形）。書類 → レイアウト →「2段目以降に略称を表示」をオフにするか、譜表ごとに「名前は1段目だけ」を選びます。名前がない段は余白の位置から始まります。
Windows：インストーラーが日本語に対応しました。日本語の Windows では書類の種類も日本語で表示されます（Maestroスコア、MIDIファイルなど）。

On the Mac, Audio Unit plug-ins from other makers (Kontakt, Spitfire, BBC Symphony Orchestra, sfizz…) now open: with 0.9.78 Maestro quit as soon as you chose one. If a plug-in doesn't open, a message says so and the part plays with the sound bank.
MIDI output: a part can play in Vienna Ensemble Pro, in a DAW or on a MIDI port (IAC bus on the Mac, loopMIDI on Windows), with its channel, dynamics and articulations. In the mixer, Sound menu → MIDI Output.
Articulations… redesigned: on the left the list with ✓ on the ones in use, on the right the commands, with the keyswitch note read back as you type (also for libraries where middle C is C4), and a Listen button. Ready-made maps (Spitfire UACC, one channel per articulation, keyswitches in a row, Virtual Playing Orchestra) and maps you can save, combinations such as staccato with mute, note advance and dynamics on controller 1 or 11.
Simple Entry: with → the first note of each measure is no longer skipped and you hear it; a new note no longer pushes music past the barline (in a full measure Maestro tells you).
Speech (VoiceOver and NVDA) in Simple Entry and during playback too (where it starts, where it stops, the end of the piece); with each note you hear dynamics, articulations, slurs, hairpins, chord symbols and text, and entering a measure the changes of clef, key and time.
View menu: Read All Staves, Read Score Information and Go to Measure….

Orchestral libraries in plug-ins (Spitfire, VSL, Kontakt…): Plug-in Articulations… has 16 articulations (legato, spiccato, accent, marcato, tenuto, trill, sul ponticello, sul tasto, harmonics, col legno, flautando, plus pizzicato, tremolo, staccato and mute), chosen from markings, marks on the note and slurs.
Each articulation can send several keyswitches, controllers and program changes, and play on its own MIDI channel (for example a Kontakt multi with one articulation per channel). Maps you already saved stay the same.
Speech with VoiceOver (Mac) and NVDA (Windows): Speedy Entry and the selection announce notes, rests and position; View → Read Position and Read Measure.
Inspector and Settings from the keyboard: F6 goes to the inspector, Tab moves between fields and every control is read with its label. On Windows, dialogs, the start screen, New Score and the guided tour also work from the keyboard with NVDA.
Speedy Entry with a MIDI keyboard: a number with no keys held enters a rest, as in Finale; * on the numeric keypad adds a tie.

Simple Entry: the palette has an eraser, as in Finale. A click deletes the note or rest, only the clicked note of a chord, or an element (dynamic, text, chord symbol, slur, hairpin…); choosing a duration takes you back to entering.
With a chord selected, ⌘↑ and ⌘↓ (Ctrl+↑ and Ctrl+↓ on Windows) choose the highest or lowest note and then move to the note above or below; also from Notation → Notes.
Layout: the flag of stem-up eighth notes and dynamics at the end of a measure no longer touch the barline (double or final ones too) or the following note.
Score Instruments: on Windows the large name at the top and the settings in two columns, as on the Mac; on the Mac the buttons under the list as on Windows.

Document → Staves and Instruments → Score Instruments…: all the instruments in one window, like Finale’s Score Manager, on Mac and Windows. On the left the list with sound, transposition and brackets next to the names, reordered by dragging; on the right name, abbreviation, sound, transposition, clef, notation and staff size. Double-click to go to the instrument.
Several instruments selected together (⌘/⇧ on Mac, Ctrl/Shift on Windows) are moved, dragged, duplicated and deleted in one step, with shared size, clef and brackets.
Add Instrument, Change Instrument and Instrument Change use the New Score catalog, with search and families; in the inspector too.
Identical instruments are numbered automatically (Flute 1, Flute 2; duplicating Violin I gives a Violin II) and renumbered when one is deleted.
Piano, harp and organ: name and clef of each staff; add or remove a staff, and join two instruments into one (organ with pedals) or split them. Brackets and sub-brackets with a checkbox.
Notation for the whole instrument (rhythmic slashes, rhythmic notation, tablature), staff lines, and Hide in score for an instrument that is only needed in its part.
Before deleting instruments or staves that contain notes, Maestro asks for confirmation.
A tidier inspector: the section of what is selected opens by itself, the others close with a click on the title and show a summary when closed.
Lyrics: the window opens with the text already written so you can correct it, and double-clicking a syllable opens it there; in old Finale .mus files the hyphens between syllables are back.
Flows: several pieces in one document (the movements of a sonata, the numbers of a collection), each with its own title, measure numbering from 1, on a new system or a new page, and its own instruments. Document → Flows → Flows… gathers them in one window; Print and Export PDF can print a single flow; they come in from MuseScore, MusicXML and Finale and go back to Finale.
Edit → Move to Layer (⌃⌥1…4) moves the selected notes to another layer at the same spot; Move/Copy Layers… moves, copies or swaps layers in the chosen measures, as in Finale.
Document → Key Signature…, as in Finale: preview on the staff, major or minor, from one measure to another or to the end, with the notes transposed or kept at the same pitches.
The Notation and Document menus are shorter, with commands grouped in submenus, so they fit on small screens too; on the Mac the score keys (T, L, H…) appear next to the items.
P puts the courtesy accidental in parentheses, then without parentheses, then removes it.
Virtual drum kit: pads can be reordered by dragging, hidden and renamed for each instrument, and with Play Pads with the Keyboard the computer keys play and write them.
Windows: the colored icon also for files opened before with “Open with”. In Repeat Style… the labels use the Windows font.

A single chord note: clicking a notehead of an already selected chord (or Option/Alt-click) selects just that note; arrows, +/−, N, delete, Copy and Cut act on it alone.
