Finale Songwriter
I experience that when I write the chord name H, which is commonly used in Norway, Finale automatically changes it to an A, which is wrong. I mean H, and in English notation that stands for B. How can I possibly get an H for a chord name. Since the English B normally stands for Bb in Norwegian notation, it will be more difficult to read quickly and accurately. I think this is common with several languages, influenced by German tradition in notation.

You must write the letter B (not the letter H), no matter what chord style is selected.
When you move on to the next chord symbol, the B will be corrected according to the chord style.
If the chord style is European, then the B will be corrected to B♮.
If the chord style is Scandinavian, then the B will be corrected to H.
If the chord style is German, then the B will be corrected to H, and B♭ will be corrected to B.
If the chord style is Nashville, then the B will be corrected to 7.
Geddit?
I found the solution after consulting with a friend: I checked for German style, and then I had to write a B. The program automatically changed the B to H. This isn't optimal, as the Bb is B in the German style, so you need to be aware in advance. You cannot check German style and type the H and B directly, you must type it English style.
