is to be centered. The Chord Definition dialog box appears.
Click the Listen box at the top right side
of the box. Play the root scale tone on your synthesizer. Finale
automatically fills in the Root Scale Tone and Alteration text boxes for
you.
Click the second Listen button. Play the bass
note on your synthesizer. If the bass note is different from the
root, Finale fills in the Alternate Bass text boxes.
Click the third Listen button. Play the rest
of the chord on your synthesizer. Finale will only fill in the
Suffix ID if it recognizes the suffix—in other words, if it matches a
suffix definition in its Chord Suffix Library. (If no library has been
loaded, or if Finale doesn’t find a match, nothing happens.)
