piano_player18 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I am trying to compose a few saxophone solos on Finale 2008 and I am having a difficult time because when I put the notes in I hear certain pitches, but when I have the computer play it back for me the pitches change. I think this is because saxophone is an E flat instrument and it might be playing it back to me in concert pitch. Is there a way I can match up the pitches so that I can hear it, hum it, and keep composing? Thank you! -J.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi J.P., From the user manual: Choose Document > Display score in concert pitch. If this option is selected, all music appears in its untransposed form (concert pitch) and a checkmark appears next to the menu item. When this option isn’t selected, any staff you’ve defined as a transposing staff will appear in its transposed form, just as it will when the part is extracted. http://www.finalemusic.com/usermanuals/finale2012win/content/Finale/Transposing_instruments3.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
