All right, I'm feeling particularly stupid, and forgive me if my musical knowledge isn't up to par here, but I'm trying to transpose some notes and chords and can't figure out how to do it.

Let's say I have a C chord (both as a series of three notes as well as a chord entered above the notes) and want to transpose it to a C# chord -- just how the heck can I do it without rentering the whole thing? I don't want to change key, just the chords (and because it will be a whole series of notes and chords I *really* don't want to reenter it!).

I can see the box to transpose up by whole intervals on both notes and chords in Mass Mover, but can't figure a way to do it by half an interval. Am I ignorant or is Finale missing this (rather important) piece?

It's the first one. :)

When you open the transposition dialog box, it's set to transpose diatonically. You want to change "diatonic" to "chromatic", then, in the interval list, choose "augmented unison".

Dan's suggestion is right although it won't change the chord symbol above the notes. To do that, select the measure with the MassMover and go to MassMover/Change/Chord Assignments/Transpose.

P.S. Coda, why is MassMover not in the dictionary?
