This entry discusses the transposition
of the music in selected measures up or down. If you’re interested in
transposing the key of a section, see Transposing:
changing key. If you want to find out about transposing instruments,

- Click the Selection tool
and select a region.
See Selecting
music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
- Choose Utilities >Transpose. The
Transposition dialog box appears.
- Specify the desired transposition, including
Up or Down. If you want to transpose the selected region by more
than an octave, enter the number of octaves Finale should add to the specified
smaller interval transposition. (For example, the interval of a tenth
is a third plus one octave.) If you’re performing a chromatic transposition,
choose Chromatically from the upper-right radio buttons. You’ll notice
that the Interval drop-down menu changes to list chromatic
intervals—Minor Sixth, Diminished Fifth, and so on. See Transposition dialog box for more information.
