Does the Full GPO have it? Is it possible to extend the range in Finale 2010? Can't live without it! Thanks in advance.

Yes - low concert Bb (written C).

Hi, Sorry, Do you mean the full GPO? What about what comes with Finale 2010? It goes to Low Dd only. I was hoping it could be edited to add the Low C. Thanks again.

Yes, full GPO, which also includes a contrabass clarinet playable a m7 lower.

Concerning Finale/GPO, I don't know. Maybe someone here who uses it might chime in; however, it seems to be an odd exclusion. Perhaps your Finale set-up is limiting the playback range. Try checking that the "allowable" range includes the low concert Bb.

The range of Finale/GPO is different on the bass clarinet as has been pointed out. You can fake it in Finale though by inserting a 1/2 step down pitchbend instruction to get that low concert Bb.
