Does a keyboard shortcut exist to switch on/off 'Display in concert pitch'? I mean, there was one in earlier editions.

In the Mac version there is not a keyboard shortcut for “Display in Concert Pitch”.
I have always used the Mac OS X control panel Keyboard to program a shortcut for “Display in Concert Pitch”.
It is my guess that the Windows version, too, does not have a keyboard shortcut for “Display in Concert Pitch”.
Fortunately you can quickly and easily program the shortcut yourself.

Thanks for the advice. But I have already tried programming via TGTools with various key combinations. Many other accesses run via this method, but "Display in concert pitch" unfortunately not.

Maybe a Finale 25 problem? Works perfectly in 2014.5. Are you sure you haven't tried to program a key combination that already exists? Because you can do it, but it will not tell you that it doesn't work, the shortcut just stays as it previously was.

Lothar, surely a simple macro program must exist for Windows OS (?). It could be relatively straightforward - all you need is a "Menu Selection", in this case to toggle the concert pitch mode on and off.

Make sure that you are spelling the command exactly the way it appears on the menu, with capitals.

Here are two options other than TG Tools that will allow you to define the shortcuts on Windows:
- FinaleScript
- Auto Hotkey (https://autohotkey.com/)

This might be the reason, I've also tried it succesful in 2014.5. Unfortunately a bug inside Fin25 or TGTools, don't know . Thank you to all.Maybe a Finale 25 problem? Works perfectly in 2014.5.

I reported the TGTools issue with Finale 25 just about as soon as v25 came out. There is an incompatibility with v25 as to how TGTools interacts with the registry. I believe it is a TGTools issue not working correctly with the 64 bit version of Finale. If there was a separate registry location for v25, then I believe this issue would not exist. But v25 shares the file with earlier versions. That, I believe, causes the conflict.

Thank you Zuill for this detailled explanation. Now I have programmed 2 little skripts (on/off) for this. Maybe I will transpose it to JWLua, to have a toggle with only one key.

Try the function key F13. Should toggle between concert pitch and transposed. Not sure how these came to be, but this shortcut work in 2014 and 25. Here are others:
STAFF F1
MEASURE F2
KEY SIGNATURE F3
TIME SIGNATURE F4
SPEEDY ENTRY F5
HYPERSCRIBE F6
SMART SHAPES F7
EXPRESSION F8
ARTICULATION F9
CHORD F10
REPEAT F11
PAGE LAYOUT F12
DISPLAY IN CON F13
CLEAR SELECTED F14
EXPLODE MUSIC F15
IMPLODE MUSIC F16
SCOREMANAGER cmd+K
LAYERS 1-4 alt+cmd+1-4
STAFF F1
MEASURE F2
KEY SIGNATURE F3
TIME SIGNATURE F4
SPEEDY ENTRY F5
HYPERSCRIBE F6
SMART SHAPES F7
EXPRESSION F8

CHORD F10
REPEAT F11

DISPLAY IN CON F13
CLEAR SELECTED F14
EXPLODE MUSIC F15
IMPLODE MUSIC F16
SCOREMANAGER cmd+K
LAYERS 1-4 alt+cmd+1-4
After posting the previous, I realized that I had programmed the above shortcuts through the System Preferences>keyboard>shortcuts>apps pane on my Mac. I am able to toggle quickly through most of the tools in the pallet with the exception of the staff tool and the smart shapes tool. For some reason, they didn't program properly.
However the above shortcuts, once programmed, make my writing much quicker without having to scroll through menus, etc. The F13 (function key 13) moves quickly between concert pitch and transposed.

The O.P. Is on Windows, where Alt-oi will toggle between concert pitch and normal. That's two keystrokes, though. This sort of menu navigation is built into Windows, and will work with other programs. When you press Alt, note the underlined letters in the menus. Very handy.

Thank you motet! This is the answer to my initial question, I unfortunately had forgotten the simple way via the menu shortcuts
