Is the finale software included in the "Everything" pack?



No. Biab has it's own notation function but it's not Finale.
You are so excited about this I feel you need to know something important. Biab is NOT for creating exact covers of classic tunes. You're not going to get it to play those guitar licks from Johnny Cash tunes or the guitar intro to Satisfaction or any other song specific licks. You've got killer rhythm guitar parts, great drum parts, awesome bass parts, good solo parts, very good background pedal steel parts but those are what I call generic groove parts in a given style. Backing tracks. You don't get specific "hooks" that instantly identify a tune. Yes, before someone else jumps in, you can create a style for just one song that does a decent job for that one song only. You don't get those from PG Music because of copyright issues. Bob Norton has a lot of those but even he can't identify it by the proper name for the same reason. You have to listen to the demo and think "Aha, THATS what that is". Also, you can put certain licks on the Melody track like importing that intro to Satisfaction from a midi file for example but if you do that, you've lost the melody. You can also record those parts yourself on the audio track or you can record say an exact bass part onto the bass track yourself in midi and then freeze the track so Biab won't regenerate it the next time you hit play and wipe out your work. Sometimes that works well, sometimes not. Note I'm saying midi. Real Tracks are audio files and are prerecorded. You can't change those.
As a noob at this, Biab is not going to give you a song that sounds like Folsom Prison Blues without a lot of work and even then that's not what Biab is designed for. For that you need to work with midi files and use a sequencer like Real Band. What works great is to have a good midi file but those midi drums suck and you replace them with one of the Nashville Real Drum tracks if it's a country tune. Add a few bars here and there of the pedal steel Real Track and that's icing on the cake. Just that alone can transform a blah country midi file into a great sounding piece of music. Again, covers are best done in Real Band not Biab. That's a whole other subject.
After all this negativity, I will say Biab is simply the best thing out there for creating great backing tracks. Nothing else remotely like it anywhere just don't expect it to give you a song that sounds like the record of anything specific without a lot of input from you.
