The Set to Clef option lets you simply click on a graphic display containing all the clef choices to select a clef. You can also direct Finale not to transpose the staff at all by choosing None from either the Key Signature or Chromatic drop-down menu. You can set up a staff to transpose chromatically, moving notes on a staff without changing the key signature.

You can also tell Finale that it should use a different clef for this instrument when the staff is displayed in its transposed form.
