Well, a Finale file is a database file, not a computer program, like a

In Adobe v. SSI, Adobe succeeded in persuading the court that the
definitions of the glyphs in a type face met the definition of "computer
program", and as such were eligible for copyright protection. If glyphs
in a typeface constitute a "computer program", then by the same
reasoning, the output from a Finale program would also be a "computer
program".
