Overview
What is an FPA file? An FPA file is a musical performance assessment created by MakeMusic Finale, a scorewriter for Windows and macOS. It contains a record of how many notes a musician played correctly while using the Finale Performance Assessment tool. Current versions of Finale do not create FPA files, but they can still open them.
More Information MakeMusic Finale is a popular music notation program used by composers and other musicians. Some previous versions of the app included a Performance Assessment tool that allowed musicians to play along with a piece of sheet music, record themselves performing the song, and review their performance. The performance assessments Finale created were saved as FPA files. Each FPA file contains a copy of the sheet music a musician played along with, with notes the musician played accurately highlighted in green and notes the musician missed highlighted in red. NOTE: Finale Performance Assessment was discontinued with the release of Finale 2007.
