OOPS!
You can do this: engage shift-lock, press 5 on QWERTY, then play your chords in sequence. If you want a crotchet (quarter) rest, play a 3-note semitone cluster anywhere. This can be a huge time-saver. If you engage shift-lock, press opt-3 (for triplets), then 4 (for quavers/eighths), you can then enter the entire RH part of the 1st movt of the Moonlight Sonata in a few minutes. If you actually _want_ a 3-note cluster you'll have to go back to the slower entry method for that. > >BTW I was somewhat surprised to see that when working on Horn, or other >transposed parts, I entered notes at Horn pitch or whatever and not Concert >pitch. No problem whatsoever in doing this but considering Finale transposes >for playback, mass-mover and everything else I was surprised. If you check View at Concert Pitch, then you enter, and see, all notes in concert for all instruments.
