I compose directly into Finale (transposed score, chromatic, no key
signatures), and often input notes in their transposed (i.e., as written)
form.  I admit, it can be disconcerting to hear the wrong pitch when
entering notes.  But when I do enter notes in concert pitch, I don't switch
the score to display in concert pitch; instead I chromatically transpose the
passage up a fifth or major second or whatever after entry.  Maybe slightly
less efficient than toggling the switch to display in concert pitch, but I
rarely encounter the dreaded 9-key enharmonic bug (which I use all the
time).

Hi Chris,

I did not know this. This is obviously deeply stupid. I even use Transposed
Scores! But when composing, I make the switch *after* entering the notes,
and I suspect it's the same for anyone else who composes directly into
Finale, without making detailed sketches on paper first.

Cheers,

- DJA
