Make sure you are transposing in the correct direction. The difference between an E flat part and a B flat part is a perfect fifth. For example, the difference between a C and a B flat part is one whole step. The written key signature has nothing to do with the type of part you have only the part's transposition from concert pitch (C part) matters for this step.įind the interval between the two types of part. Click OK twice to exit the dialogs, and click OK again in the Apply Staff Style dialog to apply the change to the selected passage.To Decide Transpositions for Transposing InstrumentsĪsk: what type of part am I transposing and what type of part do I want? Do you have a C part and want to turn it into an F part? Do you want to turn a B flat part into a C part? Non-transposing parts are considered to be C parts. The “Key Signature” menu should automatically change to say “Other”.Ĩ. What this means is that your transposition will be up 2 steps (an interval of a third) and that the key signature will be modified from the concert key by subtracting 10 sharps (or, in the case of E major, subtracting 4 sharps and adding 6 flats). Change the Interval to “2” and the Key Alter to “-10”.Under Appearance>Transposition click “Select”.Name your Staff Style something useful like “Clarinet in Bb (A#)”.
Go to Staff>Apply Staff Style To>Score and Parts. Select the Staff Tool, and select the passage on the Clarinet staff where the enharmonic key will be applied. The concept is similar, but because Finale 2012 does not allow you to edit or add to the built-in instruments, we will use Staff Styles instead. You can hide the instrument name change by selecting it and clicking Home>Hide or Show. To create an instrument change (for instance at the point where the key signature changes to E major), go to Home>Instruments>Change and select your new Clarinet to replace the existing Clarinet at the key change. To create a new instrument, go to Home>Instruments>Add or Remove and add your new Clarinet in the usual way. Now, you can either create a new instrument or create an instrument change using your new instrument. Click OK, and close the Edit Instruments dialog.ħ. It is helpful to name the instrument in the dialog something useful like “Clarinet in Bb (A#)” to distinguish it from the default Clarinet in Bb.Ħ. In Transposition>Transposing Score, select “A#” where it says “Written middle C sounds as” (leave everything else alone).ĥ. Click “Yes” when asked if you are sure you want to create a new instrument based on ‘Clarinet in Bb’. (A tip: if you select the Clarinet in Bb staff in your existing score before you open the dialog launcher, this instrument will be automatically selected.) In Families in ensemble, choose Woodwind, in Instruments in family, choose Clarinet in Bb. Go to Home>Instruments and open the dialog launcher (the downwards-right pointing arrow) to open the Edit Instruments dialog. The idea is to make a new instrument that is effectively an A sharp Clarinet, so that the key transposes a diminished 3rd instead of a major 2nd. Both Sibelius and Finale will show the transposed key as F sharp (6 sharps), but we may want the key instead to be G flat (6 flats). Consider a B flat Clarinet playing in the concert key of E major. Occasionally, though, we need to display an enharmonic key signature other than the one the program chooses. Both Sibelius and Finale will even, by default, “wrap” the key signature of the transposing instrument to prevent unnecessarily complex or remote key changes, ensuring that, for instance, an Alto Sax playing in the concert key of B major will display the key signature of A flat instead of a very unusual G sharp. Most of the time, we don’t have to think about it. #Fortunate son itab transpose to key of e software
One thing we take for granted with music notation programs is that, for transposing instruments in a transposing score, the software automatically displays the correct key signature and transposes by the appropriate interval.
