I can see no reason why anyone would want to hear the wrong concert pitch when entering notes in Simple note entry. It just doesn't make sense. If I'm entering a third-space C in a transposed tenor sax staff, I want to hear [...]
[snip]The obvious solution to the question of playback on a transposing staff is
to have either way be possible, with an option that the user can change at
will.
Most of my (infrequent) use of Finale (2003) involves non-transposing instruments. In cases when I *do* have a need to input (say) a clarinet part, I probably do it differently, depending on the circumstance:
1. If I'm just writing (composing) something from scratch, I input the
clarinet in "C" (i.e., non-transposing), so I can hear it with the other
instruments. When I'm satisfied, I transpose the part.
Yes, I do this (1.) sometimes too, and have up M2 transposition programmed as metatool 8, and up P5 as metatool 9 (6 and 7 are octave transpositions). And, of course, the reason for doing it like this is to hear it correctly!
