Finale’s chord symbols are intelligent enough to transpose automatically when you change the key signature; a Cmaj7 in the key of C will become an Fmaj7 in the key of F.

If you inadvertently enter chord symbols before setting the key signature, however, you can use the following method to transpose the chord symbols independently of the key and the existing music.

To transpose chord symbols

1. Click the Selection tool  , and select the region containing the chord symbols that you want to transpose. See Selecting music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
2. Choose Utilities > Change > Chord Assignments. The Change Chord Assignments dialog box appears.
3. Click Transpose. The Transposition dialog box appears.
4. Specify the interval by which you want the chord symbols transposed, and click OK. Click OK again.
