Custom Key Signature displays same in bass and treble clef (same positions = different notes). Can't use 2 custom key signature in 2nd clefs. Piano
In the midst of a piece in D major there are 12 bars (32 32nd notes per bar!) where the F is naturalized. I know it's unconventional, but I want to set the key signature to show only C#, or C# + F natural. I created a custom key signature, but when I add it to the sheet (either the treble or bass clef) it is added to both clefs, and the bass clef shows E# and A-natural because the # is on the 3rd space up, i.e. C in the treble clef but E in the bass clef. Alternatively, if I set the signature to be correct for the bass clef then it ends up wrong in the treble clef. Those two variations are in the images. The same problem exists if I exclude the natural. Should this be considered a bug?

This indeed is a known restriction of custom key signatures in MuseScore
So, you need to create both versions and add them separately (using Ctrl while adding to keep the change local to the current staff).

Thanks! I see that if you have multiple instruments all using the same clef it makes sense for the default to be the default. I don't know which would be more common, but anyway, CTRL works. Thanks!
Localize by clicking a measure and holding ctrl whilst adding the signature.
