Re: [Finale] Key sig for melodic minor
I agree! The non-standard key sig would be for various scalar articulation exercises, adapting some standard trumpet exercises to the melodic minor mode for improvisational purposes. If the melodic minor key sig worked as expected, it would obviate a tremendous amount of work in transposing an exercise into all 7 modes of all 12 keys. I would probably be the only one to use these, unless one of my Finale list or trumpet buddies were interested in seeing these. Thanks Raymond!

Re: [Finale] Key sig for melodic minor
I haven't done this, but it appears to be supported as nonstandard key signature. I think you would define a linear scale of 12 notes. The documentation refers to KeyMap. Click this icon to display the Key Step Map dialog box, in which you specify how many steps you want in an octave, as well as which steps are diatonic and which chromatic. See Key Step Map dialog box. AOrdAmt. Click this icon to display the Accidental Order and Amount dialog box, in which you specify which accidentals you want to appear with each progression to a new key (if you’re in a linear key format), and which lines or spaces they should appear on. See Accidental Order and Amount dialog box. On 3/16/2015 8:28 PM, Girard Bowe wrote: Ascending, of course. I've tried to create this, but without success.

That is, if I have a D melodic minor, will it transpose up a major second as E melodic minor? And lastly, will it transpose diatonically according to the key signature? I'd like to be able to select a section, press 6, and have everything be one step lower in the same key. Thanks again for any help! I'm trying to create melodic minor exercises for myself, and would be glad to share these.

Just to clarify, for A melodic minor, you just want an F# and G# in the key signature?
