Steve,
I'm sure you meant that in the reverse. Pressing a C into an transposed alto
sax part would sound as an Eb. You must have meant input A, hear C. Am I right?
Because what you ask for is easily obtained by just turning on Display In
Concert Pitch, then turning it off once input is done.

I did quarter-tones, but it was 15 years ago. It worked then with a Proteus

So, all options would be good!
I'll try to explain the problem as it manifests for me:
Sometimes I'll enter say some violin, then switch to Bb Clarinet,
enter a D written, hear a D concert, automatically delete the D
written and replace with a C written, hear the correct pitch (concert
C),
It's nice to have an answer!
It is definitely easier to get it played and it's not crucial that I
hear it.
It just seemed that it may now be possible with Finale's actually

What I was saying is not as it is now (to the best of my knowledge). While
displaying the transposed parts (not C score), I would be interested in
being able to play the SOUNDING pitch on the midi keyboard, not the
transposed pitch, but have the transposed pitch appear on the screen. And I

This seems to be yet a different option required!
To play an A, hear an A, but have a Bb Clarinet B appear.
I would be happy with this for MIDI entry I think, but for laptop
entry it would be kludgy (which is NOT what you're suggesting anyhow).

I've played a bit with this method.
The big drawback is needing to cancel the pitch bend after each

Finale is so close in already allowing any number of written

Whether I work with a C score or a transposed one depends on the source I'm

If I'm given a transposed score, I'll enter the music in a transposed score.

Yes, you can. There's an item in the File menu called File Info. You can
