I think the point is that you should hear the PLAYED pitch regardless whether you are viewing in transposed or concert pitch. When you do playback, the notes all come out in played pitch even when viewing in transposed mode -- exactly as it should be. Yet when you enter from a MIDI keyboard while in transposed mode, you hear the wrong pitch. It makes no sense. I can't understand why anybody would ever want to hear the written pitch. The point of hearing the pitch is to verify aurally that it is consistent with the rest of the orchestration.

This is a truly maddening "feature" Finale should sound the PLAYED pitch in every case, whether it is playback or note entry, when viewing in concert or transposed mode.

But in simple entry, he is complaining that he is hearing a DIFFERENT midi sound from what he should hear when he puts a not on a transposing staff.

In other words, if I understand his problem (which maybe I don't) if he is entering an F on a Horn in F transposed staff, he should hear a Bb but he is actually hearing an F.

He isn't using a midi keyboard to do this, but clicking with the mouse.

How would this impact speedy or hyperscribe? Do I play in concert pitch, and see the notes appear on the staff transposed? I agree that it is a pain to play in the notes in a transposed score as they should be written, but to hear them sounding as if they were not transposed, but of course, I am just hearing the MIDI output of the key I am pressing. I think that is the sticky issue.

Have you (and others who want it) sent in a feature

I'm sure I've seen this issue discussed here before.
I assumed that users have complained about it before,
but I'll certainly send Coda a feature request ASAP.
BTW, I don't consider this a feature. I feel that
transposed instruments should sound the CORRECT
concert pitch when entering notes in Simple note
entry, and the fact that they don't do that means to
me that it's not working properly.

All the best,
