Gosh, what I've started... To sum up, many of us would love to have this as an option.
Display in concert pitch is not a great option for me, because if one is thinking in transposed pitch, the eye and the ear get out of whack that way. There are dozens of reasons for writing and thinking in C scores -- many fine composers (Prokofiev?) wrote C scores. There are dozens of reasons for writing and thinking transposed scores. It isn't necessarily a pianist/non-pianist issue (I'm a pianist who has learned to think in transposed scores). For me the issue is seeing and thinking the way the performer will. It is important for me to get myself in the performer's head. If I don't do this, I make stupid errors of judgement. But that's me.
There isn't a right and wrong. Finale is something we love because it gives everyone plenty enough rope to hang themselves -- almost everything is controllable and customizable. And, in fact, everything is possible, if you can be inventive enough.
For now, I'll just have to double-transpose, or to turn the volume down. David _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
