That is quite simply. There is plug-in "virtual findamental" created by openMusic, and that I need is very similar.
I need difference tone calculator.
-----for instance:
If we have a chord of
E-G-B (Emin)
there will be difference tones
E-G=C
E-B=B
G-B=G
How do I get it? People that know what difference tone is will guess. Just as relatios 3:2, 4:3 and such..

If there is anyone who will help I will post more about it (attach PDF document..)

Matthew's note brought up another possibility - export the Finale file to MusicXML, write a program in your favorite programming language (such as Python) working on the MusicXML file, and then re-import the revised MusicXML file into Finale. Most developers find the MusicXML format much easier to work with than Finale's format.

I still don't really understand the problem - do you have a lot of chords in the Finale file or one chord? Do you need to select chords within a Finale file or is it OK to run the plug-in on the whole file? (The MusicXML approach will work better if you can run the plug-in on the entire Finale file at once.) Screen shots of what you want to see before and after might help.

I too have been contemplating this question, because I want to do some chord multiplications which is surely something that a computer should be good (and quick) at doing.

Perhaps for something like this if you know the formula you could use the Python language which looks reasonably straightforward, or maybe even Excel? Of course you'd then have to translate the numbers into notes...

The other possibility is Google Answers. It might be more cost-effective for you do get someone (from India?) to do it rather than learn a a programming language. Not that anyone on Google Answers would know how to programme Finale plugins, but they may be able to do Python or Visual Basic or something.
