IWBNI Finale supported MIDI Time Code (MTC) as a master or slave. This feature could be used to synchronize Finale with audio and video equipment.

MTC is a protocol for transmitting SMPTE (Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers) time code via MIDI.

As it is now, Finale supports the synchronization protocol called MIDI Sync that uses MIDI clocks and Song Position Pointers. This protocol requires that an external device be used to convert the standard SMPTE time code to MIDI Sync by using a predefined tempo map.
