A CLP file may also be a MakeMusic Finale clip file. It contains a motif, passage, or other section of music that a composer saved as a clip. Saving notation as a CLP file allows composers to quickly insert a copy of that notation into a score.

MakeMusic Finale is a scorewriter for Windows and macOS. Composers use Finale to create, edit, and play back musical scores.

While creating a score, composers can save a section of that score as a clip, or CLP file. This allows them to quickly insert or paste the saved clip into their current score or future scores. For example, if a composer knows they'll use the same motif in multiple related pieces of music, they may save that motif as a CLP file, to make it easier to insert in multiple scores.

How to create a CLP file

To save a section of a score as CLP file:

  1. Select that section of the score (such that it is highlighted).
  2. Press and hold CTRL (Windows) or OPTION (Mac) on your keyboard.
  3. Right-click on the selected section and click Copy to Clip File....
  4. Name and save your CLP file.

How to open a CLP file

You can open a CLP file with MakeMusic Finale (Windows, Mac). To do so:

  1. Open or create a musical score.
  2. Press and hold CTRL (Windows) or OPTION (Mac) on your keyboard.
  3. Right-click on the point in your score to which you want to add the clip.
  4. Select Insert from Clip File... or Paste from Clip File.... (Insert inserts the clip between existing measures; Paste overwrites the existing music.)
