[Finale] transposing instrument question in Finale 2003a
I am working on an edition of an 18th Century piece for men's choir, strings, oboes and horns in several movements. I am doing all four movements as a single file. The first two movements are in Bb major, with horns in Bb. Not a problem. However, the third movement is in Eb major, with horns in Eb. Is there a way to change the transposition for this third movement only, so that the horn part is written correctly (no sharps or flats in the key signature) and also sounds correct in playback? Of course, I want to be able to go back to horns in Bb for the final movement which is in Bb major.

If Staff Styles not yet are available in Fin2k3, there's always a work around via Independent Key Sigs in the Staff Tool, Hans === On 16 apr 2007, at 17:36, Martin Banner wrote: I am working on an edition of an 18th Century piece for men's choir, strings, oboes and horns in several movements.

Okay, I know where staff styles is located, and I've looked at it before, but I have no idea how to use it (specifically) to get done what I need to get done.

Re: [Finale] transposing instrument question in Finale 2003a
Okay folks, now that I know I need to use staff styles, anyone wanna walk me through step by step so I can accomplish what I need to? I looked at staff styles and honestly don't know how to accomplish transposing my horn parts that start out as Bb horns and change to Eb horns from measure 86-109 (at measure 110, the horns go back to becoming Bb horns). Thanks for your help. Martin On Apr 16, 2007, at 12:43 PM, David W.

Martin... What you want to do is available in 2003.r2... Highlight the bars you want to transpose, go to staff styles, apply staff styles and scroll down until you see the transposition you want... Click on it and it should change the key...

You need to do the transposition to Eb. Plain and simple. Finale thinks of things in concert pitch and then converts from that to the transposition you want. So define a new staff style and set the transposition to Eb (up a major 6th), then once it's defined you select the measures you want that to apply to and then select Apply Staff Style from the Staff menu. This transposition to Eb will overide your setting for the staff which transposes it to Bb. The transposition will once again go back to Bb starting in the measure following the final measure you have assigned your new staff style to. -- David H.
