Edit Modal or Chromatic Spellings dialog box

How to get there

Choose Edit > Enharmonic Spelling > Edit Modal or Chromatic Spellings.

What it does

Use the Edit Modal or Chromatic Spellings dialog box to change the enharmonic spelling Finale will use for chromatically altered notes in modes and chromatic scales. Finale uses this table if Use Spelling Tables is selected in the Enharmonic Spelling submenu and Finale detects a mode or chromatic key created in the Nonstandard Key Signature dialog box.

Note: Remember that enharmonic spelling is used only for non-diatonic notes (those that are outside the scale). Otherwise, Finale uses the key signature to spell the note. These settings will be particularly useful when you enter or edit notes in a nonstandard key signature you’ve created, like a church mode.
