Polytonal/bitonality In Finale 2012

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

 

I was wondering is there way to have polytonal or bitonal in Finale 2012

Well, I just use a staff in CM/Am, and write in my accidentals...If it's highly chromatic, then there are plenty of accidentals anyway.  

 

But, if you must, check out this thread:

The fifth post has your answer.

 

Hadn't stumbled into that one before. Great contribution!

Ultimately, bitonality doesn't require separate key signatures, or indeed any key signature at all! To do so would be needlessly complicated. Unless if you have an extremely good reason to have a key signature, it's best to just forgo them unless if you're writing completely traditionally tonal music (which you evidently aren't).

Relatedly, how do you get a strike through on a group of gracenotes (rather than on a single one?)
