It makes much more sense for me to work with a transposed score.
If I input a C into an alto sax part I should hear an A in the correct
octave as I input.
Anything else is a bug.

Subject: Re: [Finale] Playback in transposed scores while entering
notes
Hi David,
There is no software solution. The solution for me has been to become
accustomed to doing all my note entry in concert pitch, then
flipping to
transposed pitch for everything else.
Cheers,

Hello all,
I have a question related to the discussion about transposed scores
(scores with or without key signatures, but where instruments are
notated as
the players see them, so if Bb clarinet has a written C, it sounds
as Bb).
I routinely write and think in transposed scores, and write music
without
key signatures. So, I use the chromatic transposition setting in
the staff
setting, as many have been discussing. It looks right and it plays
back
right. No issues. If I'm copying something that has key
signatures, I let
the setup wizard take care of it, and once again, it looks and plays
back
fine.
But ... here is what really bothers me. As I'm entering the notes in
speedy, Finale plays them for me in "C." For example, I'm writing a
piece
right now for alto saxophone. If I want to write a C, which sounds
as an
Eb, I play the C on my midi keyboard, and I hear a C as I'm entering
the
note. If I exit speedy and play back, I hear the Eb. This is
annoying,
especially while editing and changing things directly in Finale, to
hear the
"untransposed" note while entering it. It also slows me down, as I
have to
transpose twice (from what I hear and play to what I want to hear,
and then
from what I see to what I want to hear).
Does anyone know if this is fixable? I want to hear what the
player will
produce, not only during playback, but as I'm entering the pitch.
Is there
a setting for that?
Thanks,
David
