Thanks, Chuck, but neither octave up or octave down (+7 or -7) is doing anything to affect playback right now. Maybe it's my file. I'll experiment and let you know if I can fix it.
Make certain the Transposition checkbox is checked (it should be once you define the transposition).
You want to define the transposition to be UP an octave, turn OFF display in concert pitch (so you can see the transposed notation) and the notes should appear as you want them to. If they don't, use Mass Mover tool to transpose the part down to where you want the notes to APPEAR. The transposition tells Finale that they are appearing one octave UP from what they should sound, and you should end up with the proper transposition.
But you will need to view the transposed score to ensure the notes are appearing where you want them to. If you're using a concert-pitch score, it's fine to turn off view in concert pitch, since everything will be as it should be. If you need to view it in concert pitch because you have transpositions set for the transposing instruments, you'll need to enter the bass part an octave lower than you want to (at actual sounding pitch). Or you can turn OFF view at concert pitch while you enter the bass part, and then turn it back on for all the other parts.
Good luck!
