If you select this item, Finale will immediately analyze the notes in any chord you click, taking into account the notes in all staves of the score. In other words, it will use the notes struck simultaneously in all staves, as well as sustained notes, to formulate its chord guess, making this a useful option for deriving chord symbols from piano parts or a larger score containing any number of staves. Use the Chord Analysis Plug-in to analyze any selected region of a staff (or two staves) and add chord symbols automatically. See Chord Analysis Plug-in.
Once again, if Finale doesn’t recognize the chord, it will display the Unknown Chord Suffix dialog box letting you know.
