Hi, I would like to record a sound version of a piece, but the program-player plays the piece in a=441Mhz. How can I change the pitch to 443Mhz?
Thanks for help.

You don't mention which version of Finale you are using. Maybe it would be a good idea to add some info in your signature.
Have you tried to change the tuning with an expression with playback effect, type "Pitchwheel" ?
In another forum, someone, to raise the tuning from "A = 440 Hz" to "A = 442 Hz", had to set the Pitchwheel value to 54.

I think this function has been included in Finale for a long time, so I'm surprized to hear it doesn't work in Finale version 2006.
Just in case, here is how it works in recent versions :
test :
enter 2 identical whole notes in an empty score
Create a text expression.
Select playback options
Next to "type", select "pitchweel"
enter a value, for this test let's say 300 to make sure there is no doubt.
Apply this expression to the second note and listen to the playback.
This works for me.
