Thanks. I suspect she was messing around with the clef tool after the notes were written. I'm half way through the changes.

Re: Key change
His signature says he has Finale 2006. I don't believe the 8 key transposes an octave with that version. I worked with Mass Edit, transpose and I cannot seem to put the notes in the correct position. I tried 1 octave, 1.5, 1.7 etc and none seem to work. I guess I'll have to reposition them by hand.

Re: Key change
When you change the key signature it asks if you want to transpose the music up or down. It looks like the transposition should have been down. ::: Bill That works if you want to transpose music that is already written but in this case she did the key change and then started to input the notes. It'...

Key change
My composer friend sent me her composition with which she is having problems. At measure 46 she changed the key from 4 sharps to 5 flats and all the notes after that went too high. She said this happened when she selected playback. Does anyone know what happened and how to get the notes back in the ...

Re: Sheet selection
Just an update. I went to Page Setup and selected Printer, Selected the XPS printer, clicked on Advanced and selected the Legal sheet. From there when I selected Print to PDF it was legal all the way and I was successful in printing the score to PDF.

Re: Sheet selection
My guess is that it is because you are still using Finale 2006. Yes 2006. How much to upgrade? Looks like Export Pages makes a separate file for each page--true? Yes, it makes a TIFF for each page. Does it go through Finale's PDF code, same as Export from the File menu? No and there is Export from ...

Re: Sheet selection
I hope this works. Here's the screenshot of the first two pages. As you may be able to see the bottom part of the score is cut off and it looks like it is still selecting letter instead of legal.

Re: Sheet selection
Have you tried using the Graphics Tool to Export Pages as PDF? I tried this but only can export it as a TIFF. It would be interesting to know if you can print Legal to PDF from some other program like Word or Notepad. Yes, no problem. The other thing to try is to go to Devices and Printers from the...

I'm trying to print a score to PDF. The problem is even though the document is set to legal when I go to print the selection is letter and I can't seem to change it. I go to page setup and it's set to letter. When I click on Print and select the printer the sheet is also set to letter and I can seem...

Re: Print to PDF
You need to set the size to legal both in Finale paper size, and in the "printer" page setup. That's the first thing I tried. When I open the PDF file it still shows the bottom staff cut off but I'm going to try printing one to see if prints correctly. I was able to change the paper size to letter ...

Re: French horn
I play guitar so I always think in terms of chords. I meant the horns in F major. Doing what you suggested should not change the Key for the whole composition?

Re: French horn
I set up the horns to F using your method but had to play around with the numbers to get an F chord. Now when I use the Key Signature tool and set it to the end of the piece as per your response for each horn it changes the key signature for the whole piece. What am I missing here?

Re: French horn
Me again. I'm still working on this problem. I created the horn in F although the piece is written in 5 flats. When there is a key change to D the horns get changed to 6 sharps. I tried the suggestion to change it back to F at measure 11 but that changes the whole piece back to the beginning to four...

Re: Clef position
Hi Peter. I tried a mid-clef change on my neighbour's Finale 2011 but it doesn't give me the that option. The help says I must select the area where I need to put the mid-clef but I'm unfamiliar with that plus here version is in French. I tried to find the mass edit tool to no avail.
