Seriously, I am not conceptualizing task at all in Finale's terms. If
you had looked in the manual under DOUBLING, you would have figured it out.

I wanted to add an octave doubling.
That is *not* at all the same thing.
You keep conceptualizing my task IN FINALE'S TERMS because you
already know how to do it in Finale.
I didn't know how Finale's design conceptualizes the task I neededt
to perform, and my own conception of my task has nothing in common
with the Finale implementation of that task.
. . . The musician in me is screaming
"that is a transpose thing"
It is if you predefine the task to match Finale's implementation.
Not at all. I remember this when I took a MUSIC class. Arranging. We'd
DOUBLE a line. Or have someone TRANSPOSE something up an octave to give
it a little body. Its a music prospective, not a Finale one.
If you define it in purely musical terms, there is no transposition
going on at all, as the original notes remain in the same location --
you are just adding notes an octave away.
But you are adding a part, down an octave. Doubled. Transposed down an
octave. Thinking musically, it makes sense.
Sorry, but that isn't transposition, except in the narrow sense that
Finale has implemented it as an aspect of transposition.
Sorry, it is. Go take a music class and when you know a little about the
terms and what not, you can come back and admit you don't know what you
are talking about. I'm sure there is some sort of SYNDROME we can assign
to you for this. I've already, as you've stated, got Stockholm, so, you
can't have that.
