Transpose to concert pitch
I'm desperately trying to transpose a brass quintet number to concert pitch. After uninstalling Musescore 3 & 4 and reinstalling Musescore 4, the concert pitch button finally showed up in the lower right-hand corner. However, it is completely useless--it doesn't change a single thing. Help?

Did you set up your score with the correct instruments - Trumpet in Bb, Horn in F etc.? Musescore needs that information to understand what transpositions are necessary.
If you attach your score (.mscz file) here someone may be able to work out what is going on.

None if the instruments have any transpositioning infos in their properties
They seem to stem from a PDF import

Jojo ~ when I click concert pitch on your attachment, it only changes the Trumpet parts from Key of F to G. Everything else stays the same. 🫤

What I need is everything in concert pitch. Guitar chords would be helpful as well. (I know, I'm asking for the moon & the stars!) I need something I can play from the organ to act like pads behind the brass.

That changes the key sig for everything, but it doesn't work at all as they don't sound like they're in the same key!

@Jojo. You have the transpositions the wrong way round. A Bb trumpet sounds a major 2nd lower than written and 1 flat written key signature is 3 flats in concert. An F horn sounds a perfect 5th lower than written and 2 flat written key signature is also 3 flats in concert. And 3 flats concert is what you have for the trombone and tuba which don't transpose.

And you're correct...it is a pdf import.
