We should nag Finale to give us a choice. with Speedy and transposing
instruments. I, like many, would like to play/hear a concert pitch note
and have the transposed note appear. That's the way I think.
There might even be a third preference. Some might like to play the
transposed pitch, hear the concert pitch, have the transposed pitch
appear, possibly? It seems like it would be simple to give these
choices (the non-programmer asserts).

Right, we all seem to agree on that. I still wonder why I didn't come across
this problem in the past. And it's strange that Finale doesn't give us the
option to work either way. Thanks for the answer, Dean!

The simplest way to go about the whole thing, IMHO, is to compose in
Concert Score, Go to Transposed Score to check and see if you have
written the impossible, print it that way, and away you go.

Shouldn't your written Bb for the clarinet produce a sounding Ab,
not a C?

Hi all! I'm working with Finale 2007. I defined a 12-part
classical orchestra with the Wizard. Amongst these are a Bb
Clarinet and an F Horn. The wizard set up their respective
transposed key signatures correctly. I am also able to change them
individually (as I did for the Horn, for which I wanted no key
signature).
No problem so far. However, Finale is playing back the notes I
enter, untransposed. For example, when I enter a Bb for the
clarinet, it should sound a C, but it doesn't, it plays Bb! I
worked with transposing instruments before but in smaller
ensembles and it worked fine. I'm comparing the trasposition
settings in either document and they're the same. How can I get
around this problem?
Thank you very much,
Pablo.
