Got a question for the List:
I used the Set-Up Wizard to create a new orchestral score.
When I went through the various staff settings, after the
Wizard had done it's thing, I noticed that most of my winds were
assigned transpositions. This included the trombone and tuba as well as
oboe and flute.
Either I have gone about using the Wizard incorrectly, or Finale thinks
that flute is a transposing instrument.
This is one of my few ventures into the world of orchestral scoring (I
usually write for small ensembles) so I don't know what to expect.
I am using Finale 2K7 on a Macintosh.
I fixed the incorrect transpositions, but why did Finale behave this way?
I've never had that happen to me, so I think you perhaps
selected the incorrect instruments in the wizard.
Try running the wizard again to create a test score and this
time look more carefully at the instrument listings you
choose. The expectations should be the same in a large
ensemble as in a small ensemble -- select the proper
instrument and the proper transposition (if any) should
appear and non-transposing instruments should have no
transpositions set.
What were the transpositions which were set for the
trombone, tuba, oboe and flute?
