[Finale] {Fraud?} {Disarmed} Re: Expressions with associated patches *and* transpositions
Hi Benjamin, In 2010, I believe, staff styles are what you're looking for to handle these sorts of transpositions. There are a number of them pre-defined for various transpositions and instruments in the templates that come with the program. Look up "staff style" in the manual and it's fairly intuitive. Hope that helps.

[Finale] Expressions with associated patches *and* transpositions
Dear Collective Wisdom: I am working on a show in which five reed players perform on multiple instruments as is, of course, very common. I have defined my expressions (e.g., "To Alto," "To Clarinet") as the appropriate MIDI patch, but need also to specify transposition, e.g., from E-flat alto to B-flat clarinet), but cannot accomplish this within the parameters offered. The manual is singularly unhelpful in this regard. A temporary solution that I have used is to turn off transposition and make key signatures independent under staff attributes. The score, therefore, is correct, but the playback sounds like hell. Playback is important, though not critical, for me, as I use it mostly for error detection. In this case, however, I should like to use it to make rehearsal tapes for the singers. Any advice that will be helpful and very much appreciated.
