general agree with all the advice given, I cannor resist pointing out
one exception to this rule when dealing with historical sources.

Title: Alto clef
Dear Dennis,
If the pieces are from the 15th or early 16th century (Ockeghem,
Josquin, Isaac, Mouton, Févin, Certon, etc.), it's quite likely that
the ensemble should be ATTB, not SATB, in which case I would use the
modern tenor clef for the second part from the top and mark the

I have set up a clef (F clef on the top line of the stave: middle C = 4,
clef position = 0) but when I add a key signature it appears well above the
stave. How do I get it to appear on the stave?

Hi,
In order to get around the notorious EPS exporting
problem that Finale has on windows OS, I figured out that you can print to file,
then open up the doc in Adobe Illustrator for instance, and convert to an EPS
from there Problem is, while the results are overall very good, there are a

In the pieces I'm editing, the alto part, written in the traditional
alto clef (C3), of course, is generally fairly low, in other words
more often in the bottom half of the staff than in the upper half.
Which means, transcribed into treble clef, more often than not on
ledger lines. I'm very tem
I'd put it in treble clef. If you put in the treble octave down clef, alti will have
to be reminded often which octave to sing in. Alto's usually can read some ledger
lines (E,F,G are usually common in 'true' alto parts). If not, they can write in note
names if they read music.

Alto part should be in treble-clef. Altos aren't trained to interpret
the real alto clef or the choral tenor clef (G clef at the octave.)
Altos are used to reading lots of leger lines.

I'd say that this topic is similar to the ledger line discussion that
we recently had. The modern standard of practice is to put alto vocal
parts in treble clef. They are used to reading f's and g's on ledger
lines. Of course, that means you need lots of space below the staff
for lyrics, etc
Hello Finale Gurus,
Thanks for all the suggestions on soft synths/sequencers. I've been
