Got a question for the List:

I used the Set-Up Wizard to create a new orchestral score.
When I went through the various staff settings, after the
Wizard had done it's thing, I noticed that most of my winds were 
assigned transpositions.  This included the trombone and tuba as well as 
oboe and flute.
Either I have gone about using the Wizard incorrectly, or Finale thinks 
that flute is a transposing instrument.

This is one of my few ventures into the world of orchestral scoring (I 
usually write for small ensembles) so I don't know what to expect.

I am using Finale 2K7 on a Macintosh.
I fixed the incorrect transpositions, but why did Finale behave this way?


I've never had that happen to me, so I think you perhaps 
selected the incorrect instruments in the wizard.

Try running the wizard again to create a test score and this 
time look more carefully at the instrument listings you 
choose.  The expectations should be the same in a large 
ensemble as in a small ensemble -- select the proper 
instrument and the proper transposition (if any) should 
appear and non-transposing instruments should have no 
transpositions set.

What were the transpositions which were set for the 
trombone, tuba, oboe and flute?
