Yes: I just tried this with a Finale Mac 3.0 file and the clef didn't change. I don't know why this doesn't work, but I have a way round it:

- Instead of using "First Clef" in the staff style, click on the Select button next to "Transposition".
- In the "Staff Transpositions" dialog that appears, choose "Set to Clef" and choose the alto clef.

A staff style thus created will (at least with the older converted file I tried on Mac) correctly change the clef. I know it seems odd to use a "Transposition" dialog when you don't actually transpose anything, but this just happens to be the place where someone decided to put the "Set to Clef" function.

I'm sure by now some of you have tried the staff style, select first
clef problem I've mentioned and found that it works just fine on a
new file. All of the files I've been trying to do this on were files
converted from as far back as Finale2000 (windows vers). I tried it
on a new file - default document - and surprise, it works. So, any
idea why a file created in an older version of Finale fails? Thanks
for any other suggestions that may be waiting for me in a second whe
I check my email.
