This is so easy!
First, apply the correct transposition to the part using the staff tool. (I believe that you can enter the number 7 in the transposition box.) The notes will then appear one octave too high. so you then use the mass edit tool to re transpose that entire staff one octave lower and everything will look right, and sound right. A piece of cake.
Now, if anyone can tell me an easy way to get the drum sounds mapped to a drum set part, I'll be flying high.
Good luck with this, Don.

It's a transposed instrument. Have you set it that way?
I realize it's transposed, but no, I haven't set it up that way. I've been
writing octave displaced parts (like piccolo and contrabass) in the staff,
where the player will read the notes in their part.
It's not the factor it used to be in Finale, but in writing concert scores I
never saw the sense in adding more transposed parts than I had to. It just
meant more dynamics and articulations needing to be moved, or futzing with
8va/8vb and notes out of the range of my keyboard, or all the above. Up
until my Proteus 2 died not too long ago (which brought about this need for
Finale's sounds), it played the correct octave when I notated these parts in
the staff and saved me some mouse work.
It's not really that big a deal to use a transposition, I suppose, but I
guess I just naturally thought of displacing the sound first.
So, is there any way to change the octave of Finale's contrabass sound?
Thanks,
Don Hart
