Re: [Finale] non-US/CA users: keyboard layout
hey harold, obrigado! yeah sounds familiar :-) can you let me know which ones are not (easily) available on the PT keyboard layout? and are you on mac or windows? I use the Portuguese keyboard layout/Portuguese keyboard. I learned most of the equivalent keys and it works fine most of the time, but for some symbols there seems to be no equivalent, so when that happens I switch to the US layout. -- shirling neueweise new music notation + translation + arts management mailto:shirl...@newmusicnotation.com http://newmusicnotation.com | http://www.facebook.com/neueweise ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu

I can´t remember it now, but I'll keep it in mind and let you know next time it happens.

[Finale] Accidentals in horns with key transpositions
Hello, Please take a look at this passage for horn transposing in various keys. http://imgur.com/ZFT6em6 In the second measure of the second line, what concert pitch should sound on the last eighth note? Does the Ab accidental carry over from the beginning of the bar, sounding a concert Db, or does the change of transposition negate the previous accidentals, sounding a D-natural? Most other changes occur after a bar line, and the few that don't aren't affected by accidentals in the measure. I'm pretty sure of the answer I'm looking for is D-natural, given the sounding D on beat 2, but the way it's written is ambiguous. I would probably add a natural sign to the last note to clear up the confusion. Perhaps it's convention that accidentals are negated when a transposition change occurs mid-measure? In case you're curious, this is from an etude book of 50 transposing exercises for horn. It's long out of print and the composer has long since passed, so there's not a resource to consult to find out what pitch is really intended.

Re: [Finale] Accidentals in horns with key transpositions
I have practiced this kind of etude quite often, and I have never thought about this issue before. I may need to revisit the ones I've practiced. Instinctively I would play (concert) D-natural, both because my brain switches gears on the transposition and because it makes sense musically. But there is no convention I am aware of. By rights there should probably be a natural there.

Re: [Finale] Accidentals in horns with key transpositions
I'd say no, no connection between the two. And the pitch doesn't make sense, anyway.
