Do is always C, Fa is always F, etc. It is a simple substitution for the letter names that we use here, although I don't know how the altered notes are labeled. Is Eb simply Mib? In the version I was taught, chromatic alterations were as follows: Ib = Da I# = Di IIb = Ra II# = Ri IIIb = Me III# = Mis IVb = Fe IV# = Fi Vb = Se V# = Si VIb = Le VI# = Li VIIb = Te VII# = Tis Double-sharps were Dis, Ris, Misis, Fis, Sis, Lis, Tisis Double-flats were Das, Ras, Ma, Fes, Sa, Les, Ta I may have gotten two or three of these wrong (it's been years), but the basic system is as I've outlined it. If nothing else, these syllables make great Scrabble words (no, they're not in the official dictionary--which is one reason I refuse to play by the official dictionary).

[Finale] Chord symbols DO-RE-MI... instead of C-D-E....
Forgive me if this is a stupid question but I did not find anything in the manual. I need to write some simple exercises for sax students putting on every note its name in Italian. I need to put it as a chord symbol because the exercise has to be repeated in all keys, so I need to transpose the first in the other 11 keys. How do I transform the standard C-B-E and so on in DO-RE-MI using the english symbols on the keyboard anyway? The sol-fa style does not suite my needings.

Re: [Finale] Chord symbols DO-RE-MI... instead of C-D-E....
Is there something in the Chord StyleSolfeggio (in the Chord Menu when Chord Tool is selected) that helps you? I don't know the Italian names, but this gives solfege syllables. This transposes to the key that you are using, but you can transpose chord symbols separately from the notes using Mass EditChangeChord AssignmentsTranspose... If this doesn't help you, then you could try this: Create the note names consecutively as lyrics, and reassign them to the other staves using alt-click, but starting on the second, or third, or fourth lyric, instead of the first.

Marcello, (it isn't a stupid question...) as Hans says it: use TG tools. If you didn't buy it, you may try first: http://www.tgtools.com/index-en.htm But you need to write the full exercise, transpose everything you need, and -then- apply TG tools.

You're right but anyway I have to add sharps and flats where needed. Christopher Thanks for help Christopher, I did a search on Finale forums, I saw that a user needed the same thing and got no answer, will try to address my query to some italian user.
