Re-Spelling
I have a piece notated in A when imported into the software. How can I re-spell it so that I'm reading in Db. (keeping original pitches!).

It's not totally clear, but I am taking your question to mean the piece is in A and thus tends notes like A, B, C#, D, E, F#, and G#, but you want them spelled as if the piece were in Db, so those same pitches would be spelled Abb, Cb, Db, Ebb, Fb, Gb, and Ab. If so, then the thing to do would be first add the Db key signature to the beginning, then select all (Ctrl+A), hit up arrow, then down arrow. Up will move everything up a half step, down will move it back down but prefer flat spelling.
If that doesn't help, please attach your score and describe what you are trying to do in more detail.

Indeed. I think that's it. It's a jazz piece with plenty of accidentals everywhere! I'd prefer to read in a flat key and the original was in Db. Thanks!

Thank you, Marc, it worked.
