There has to be something else going on that is fouling up your transposition. Recheck your transposition settings to make sure everything is correct, and also make sure you haven't inadvertently messed up the settings in the clef designer dialog. Check that you haven't accidentally applied a transposing staff style to the part. Also make sure you're actually using bass clef and not the F clef that puts the F on the third line instead of the fourth. (What *is* that clef called, anyway?) - Darcy ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston, MA _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
