MuseScore 3 - transpose score
I want to transpose entire score.
answers I've seen:
"Ctrl A" (ok, that works)
"Notes" (this does not exist on my menu bar)
"Ctrl A" (ok, that works)
"Tools" (ok, that works)
"Transpose" (nope - not listed as a menu item of tools)
Anyone out there know how to transpose using MuseScore 3?
Thank you,

To transpose a complete score, ctrl+a to select the entire score or select nothing then under the tools menu, transpose is the first item. If this is not the case I suspect you are using MDL which means you need to change out of MDL's workspace to see the standard toolbars.

how do we change out of MDL into the standard workspace? I googled that question and saw no answer. Do you know how to do that.
Sheesh - all I wanted to do is print out a chart for the trumpet player.

If you're using MDL, which I now doubt, you can change to a different workspace by using the workspace dropdown. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/workspaces for info on workspaces.

If you have a piece written for an instrument besides the trumpet entered into MuseScore then all you have to do is change the instrument to trumpet. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/staff-part-properties#change-instrume… and MuseScore will automatically transpose the notes for you. You are obviously not understanding something and all I'm trying to do is help.
For the record, anything you are seeing that talks about a "Notes" menu is very old, talking about an earlier version of the program, so probably best not to consult that reference any more.
Transpose is normally the first thing in the Tools menu. It could well that as mentioned, a custom workspace like MDL chose to remove it. Hopefully someday they will release an update that doesn't break menus.

What is MDL?

never mind. I see that it stands for "MuseScore Drum Line". OK, guess that's useful for something. I just downloaded this a few days ago and transferred one chicken scratch handwritten score to Muse. Thanks for the help.

MDL is MuseScore Drumline. This probably means you don't have it. If you don't have a transpose option under the tools menu perhaps you could post a screen shot of the program open with the Help->About box displayed so it doesn't obscure anything but the score.

Welcome aboard. The more information you supply (most especially if you attach a score), the more detailed and relevant is the information you can receive here.
So a general question like...

For requests like:

You'll get a suggestion:
If you entered notes for a different instrument and you wish to transpose it to print out for a trumpet player you can simply change the instrument to trumpet:

This way the staff transposition automatically gets updated (and ready for printing).
