I made a Big Band arrangement with a Key change (at [E] in the score). The score showed the correct key for each instrument but when the parts are created 3 instruments had the old key signature instead of the correct new one. Since this is a global function there is no direct way to correct the individual parts. In this case Trombones 1 and 3 and the Guitar show the wrong key change although the systems after the key change show the correct key.
I don't know how this occurred or how to replicate it.

Severity S3 - Major ⇒ S2 - Critical
Status needs info ⇒ active
Workaround Yes ⇒ No

I found that deleting all parts and then recreating them solved the inconsistency in key change.

I have set the status to "needs info" because unfortunately there is little we can do without knowing how to reproduce this. As for severity, if this happened all the time on every key change, I'd agree with rating it "Critical", but as it is, it seems to be some specific corner case only or we'd be hearing about it a lot more.

Another workaround is to delete the key change and re-add it. I thought I typed that up previously but somehow my original comment didn't post.
