[Finale] Re: TRANSPOSITION
OK thanks. Incidentally, using Special Part Extraction I also have my extracted parts all as separate files, saved that way as I go down the score tweaking each one (which after the first part, goes very fast). I end up with all separate files and at the end, I make the last part back into a score (with all the tweaks and corrections) and save it as such. Thanks, as always, for your help.

That's got it Robert. Thanks much. Boy, sometimes this List is great!

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Go to the Transposition dialog for the staff. Instead of using the canned Eb transposition, select Other. Then set the Interval to 6 and the Key Alter to -9. Voila. If you want standard Eb transposition for other parts of the piece, you can use a Staff Style to apply the special transposition to only the part of the piece that is in A major.

The alto saxophone part, when transposed, appears in F#, and I would rather have it appear in Gb. Selecting Simplify Key in Transposition dialog of Staff attributes doesn't do it. Also selecting Favor Flats in OptionEnharmonic Spelling does not do it. Any answers? All the best, KIM _ ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
[Finale] Re: TRANSPOSITION
Thanks David, but I AM the sax player that is going to read this, and I would much rather see Gb myself than the key of F#. What you suggest will work fine, I just didn't want to have to think about changing back when, at the end of extracting parts in Special Part Extraction, I produce a concert score. Thanks again, KIM R On Dec 13, 2004, at 10:00 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The sax player's gonna kill you either way for putting it in so many flats or sharps, but most alto players I know would far prefer sharps. But, if you insist on it being in Gb, once you have extracted the Alto part simply remove the transposition and change the key to be Gb and you'll be all set. -- David H.
