Thanks for the link. Yes it should definitely work better and I am shocked to find that such a fundamental function is not 100% reliable. It has really undermined my confidence in the programme and having used it since 1996, to discover this bug now is really disappointing. And thinking back there have been other instances which I put down to my own error. Now I have to wonder about these too. I have asked for a more encouraging reply for Winsupport but am not holding my breath.

If you don't have it handy here's a url: http://www.mail-archive.com/finale%40mail.shsu.edu/ I have seen this problem and was able to fix the missing accidentals with Check Accidentals and Respell Notes, and sometimes Check Ties. I don't have Finale open right now, so this might not be 100% accurate. Seems like it should work better, eh? steve On Mar 28, 2004, at 8:23 AM, Lunar Ascension wrote: > I was recently alarmed to find that Finale has not been 100% > reliable when transposing chromatically either from the Staff Tool > or via Mass Edit.
