Simplify Key doesn't work in this situation, because Finale seems to prefer sharps to flats when there's a choice. You have to change the Bb staff transposition (or apply a Staff Style) to "Other", with values 2 and -10. From: "Ryan Beard" > Select "Simplify Key", I think. If that doesn't wo

Hi there. I would suspect that when C sharp key is transposed for Bb instruments, going two sharps up is normal, i.e. D sharp. I think you have to double the score and change the copy to D flat (instead of C sharp) and take it from there. Bb instruments would show up in D flat. All the best, Did

Many thanks, Peter. This worked like a charm. I am orchestrating some of the Ellington Sacred music - originally for his whole band - reducing it for my octet here in Portland. Not an easy thing to do, if you are interested in keeping as much of the power and textural changes as you can. The

Hi Jef, Easiest way to reproduce what I'm talking about is as follows: - Setup Wizard - Select an Ensemble: Orchestra (Full) + Select a Document Style: Engraved Style - "Next" etc until done. - Use the Expression tool to place the default "Adagio q = 40" tempo mark in m.1 of the score. (Defau

Hi Jef, Sorry, just realized I made a mistake in my steps! > - right-click handle for "Adagio q = 40" above Violin I staff and choose > "Remove Manual Adjustments" (or just hit clear key, makes no difference). You can't actually do this because removing manual adjustments also resets the "Adag

Chuck, If you need someone to help with the grunt work on any of your upcoming projects, I’d be glad to help. I am retired and currently un-engaged engraving-wise. Michael  mmathew_musicp...@yahoo.com http://www.musicengravers.com/cgi-bin/engravers.pl http://oregonmts.com/mathew/ On Monday, Apr
