I need to copy a certain .mus file in A minor into a song that is in C major, but I can't change keys in the middle of a song in finale notepad. Is there a way to copy the song without having it automatically transpose it into C Major?

If you've got a version of Finale that isn't Notepad you can change the key signature of one of them to the other one and check the box that says to hold the notes to their original pitch chromatically and then copy and paste away. Otherwise, ask someone else to help you out.

There's also probably a proper way but I don't know it, maybe someone else does.

Also, and this is a personal thing, I pretty much never use minor key signatures as I haven't found they offer much additional benefit.
