Change key then print 1 part

• Feb 21, 2022 - 17:33

Hi I seem not to be able to change the key, say from flute up a tone to Trumpet and print?

The desktop version doesn’t allow to transpose but the iPad version doesn’t allowed to print?

This seems crazy - forgive my ignorance but there must be an easier way round this.

Since you're asking here on musescore.org, I'll assume you are talking about the MuseScore notation program and not the iPad app (support for that is on musescore.com).

In MuseScore, to transpose for trumpet, simply change the instrument to trumpet. Right-click the staff, Change Instrument, select trumpet. This does exactly the right thing in terms of transposing the notation only but keeping the sounding pitch the same (and also changing the sound to trumpet of course). If for some reason you also want to change the sounding pitch, then instead of (or in addition to) the instrument change, use Tools / Transpose.
