I am taking a melody from a Finale file and need to raise it an octave, and did so using the Utilities > Transpose UP > octave. I don't want to transpose it to another key, just raise it. Anyway the notes are properly changed in music notation but when I drag down the notes to create tab (and set my lowest fret at 5 in this case), the TAB is is posted in light brown numbers and makes no sense...two adjacent notes A to B in notation appear in TAB as B to A.
Huh?
What would be the proper way to do what I am trying to achieve...moving a melody up and octave and dragging down into TAB?

Wait a minute...
I created a new file of this section I am working on, entering all the notes fresh - and I'm getting the same result of the drag down TAB not matching the notation.
And I'm wondering if the cause is...
I recently started working with DAWs, Ableton Live Lite and Cubase. I installed the ASIO4all v2 driver. Then I got some hardware the other day, a Focusrite Scarlett digital interface, and after I installed the driver and fired up Ableton Lite, my computer (Win 10) sort of crashed...no sound at all and my screen grayed a bit, which I looked up and learned that sound was disabled. I then went into Admin Tools > Services > Windows Audio and it indicated it was enabled. The online instructions said to make sure it was running. So I did a sys restore to a date before the Focusrite driver and things haven't been totally right since. I noticed that the Focusrite driver is still installed.
Could that crash have reset or interfered with any of my settings in Finale?

Preferences - Edit
Is the option {Respect Instrument Ranges when Copying or Changing Instruments} selected or de-selected?
If it is selected, try de-selecting it.

It was checked. I unchecked it. I'll see what happens.
Something I've noticed lately is how long it takes for Finale to boot. It is significantly longer and of course I don't know why. I've recently started using DAW software and like Finale, they utilize VSTs. Could that be the reason, Finale scanning or something along those lines?
Thanks for the help. I have been a Finale customer since 2007. As a guitar teacher it has been very frustrating with all the unattended issues in the TAB program. I used to send files into Finale and they'd tell me everything looked good from their side, end of discussion. I recently posted a query here about page formatting and someone suggested making an adjustment in preferences...and it fixed the problem. Why didn't the tech staff tell me that years ago???
Thanks.
PS - I applied this fix to the document to which I was having issue - and it worked! Does Finale really AI in disguise and change settings on its own, just to frustrate us humans?
