A new plug-in is now available from the Finale tips site, called "JW
Chord Manager".
It can be downloaded from:
www.finaletips.nu ("Downloads" section, "Plug-ins" subsection)
For Finale 2010 and later versions. It's a collection of multiple tools
to process the notes in a chord, from one single user interface. The
window is modeless, so it can be on the screen while you work in the
document. It contains the following functionality:
* Add Third - Adds a (diatonic) third interval to the chord.
* Add Octave - Adds an octave interval to the chord.
* Delete Octaves - Removes any octave doubling.
* Delete Outer Note - Deletes the edge note of the chord.
* Delete Unisons - Makes sure there's just one note of each pitch.
* Drop 2nd - Transposes the 2nd highest note in a 4-note block chord one
octave down.
* Drop 4th - Transposes the bottom note in a 4-note block chord one
octave down.
* Keep Line - Removes all notes from a chord, except the top or bottom note.
* Rotate - Rotates the chord up or down (by moving the top/bottom note
in the chord down/up). Only affects chords less than an octave.
* Transpose Octave - Transposes the edge note one octave. Single notes
are not transposed.
* Transpose Octave (Chord) - Transposes the full chord one octave.
Single notes are not transposed.
Please note that this plug-in contains functionality found is some
smaller special-purpose plug-ins (such as "JW Keep Line", "JW Rotate
Chord", "JW Drop 2nds"). If you don't want the duplicate functionality,
there's no need to keep the older plug-in(s).
