They have a really awkward feature that I wish would be fixed - - - When you request a key signature, it makes a distinction between a major key and a minor key with the exact same pattern of sharps and flats. For example, they call C minor a DIFFERENT key signature than E flat major.
Why even give it a name? There should be only 15 choices 1-7 sharps, 1-7 flats or NONE. Instead they make you do about 30 choices. you have the 12 keys, but there are TWO name for 3 of them. This creates a lot of confusion. Whether you transpose the notes or not should be a option which is checked or unchecked. Instead they call it "other." There are lots of situations where you want to change the key signature, but keep the note pitches the same. This could be put on a greatly simplified menu. For example: 1) no of sharps or flats, and 2) what kind it is: sharp or flat, or non-standard. 3) three check boxes: No tranpose, enharmonic, or diatonic. By non-standard I mean a melodic minor for example. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
