[Finale] changing horn transpositions within a piece
Thanks for everyone's help thus far; I'm making real headway on my projects, even if I am working night-and-day. I have a new issue; I have a horn changing transposition from G to F in the middle of my selection; I was surprised this wasn't covered anywhere in the manual, as this is a common issue when reengraving 19th Century orchestral scores. Is there an easy way to create transposition regions? Thanks again, Michael Wittenburg ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Use staff styles. (Sorry in a rush - have to go to work - if no-one else fills in the details of how to do this I'll write more this evening) Basically you setup a staff style for the particular transposition and apply it at changes. I think you need to us an expression (or just text) to indicate the change of crook to the player.

Staff style. It is years since did it, but it should be possible.

Re: [Finale] changing horn transpositions within a piece
Yes, I believe you are following me; I have no problem with just assigning text to the player, but especially since I'm working with previously-unengraved music, I'm trying to get correct playback to verify my notes faster. I'm down to the final few pages except this one horn part. I will explore the staff style to see what I can do, but if someone could give me quick-and-dirty instructions in the meantime, I would appreciate it, as my deadline is tomorrow, and the time for experimentation is at an end!

You'll need to supply the original question, then. What transpositions exactly?

Re: [Finale] changing horn transpositions within a piece
Very easy. 1) Select the Staff Tool 2) Highlight the measures you want to apply the style to. 3) Choose Define Staff Styles... from the Staff Menu 4) Click New when the window pops up. 5) Name the Staff Style something appropriate, like G Transposition. 6) Click the Transposition Tab 7) From the pulldown menu, choose (G) Up P4, Add 1 Flat 8) Click OK 9) Apply the new staff style to the measures you selected. That basically takes care of it. If you want to hide the key signature, you can check or uncheck the appropriate boxes in the staff style you created.

Re: [Finale] changing horn transpositions within a piece
I only have Finale 2006 - this is how I do it: Select the staff tool go to staff menu click on define staff style in dialogue box select new (button on top right) in the resultant dialogue box setup the instrument and transposition as you would set up any other instrument, in this case, transposition in G In the box at the top where it says new staff style over type horn in G (or whatever) click okay. with the staff tool, select the bars to be horn in G in Staff menu select apply staff style Select the style you wish to apply (in this case, horn in G) You'll need to change back to horn in F when it changes, obviously. I don't think the staff style change actually writes the text on the staff so you may have to use text to indicate the crook change. I hope this is clear enough.
