Short cut command for a flat symbol stopped working

• Mar 17, 2025 - 20:40

Hello:

I have been using Musescore for a few months and for some reason the shortcut for a flat symbol (SH + Cmd + b) has stopped working. I can still use the shortcut for a natural symbol, but not a flat.

I have updated the program, but don't know what else to do to try to resolve this issue.

Thanks

The default shortcut for flat is the - character (the hyphen: the key immediately right of numeral 0 on the typewriter keypad) or Num+- (the minus sign immediately left of the asterisk on the 10-key keypad).

If those two keys don't work, go to the Shortcuts list (Edit / Preferences / Shortcuts) and search for "flat". If you want it to be a different value than what it shows, change it here. If it already shows what you want the shortcut to be, clear the shortcut (click the Clear button toward the top) and then recreate it with the shortcut combination you want.
