how to cancel old key signature?

• Oct 15, 2010 - 07:55

Is there a way to cancel a key signature, showing naturals?

i.e. a key change moving from 4 sharps to no sharps, I'd like the first measure of that section to display 4 natural signs.

When I drag the new key signature to the measure, nothing is displayed (but the note-entry works in the new key)

Im using version 0.9.6.3 for Mac.

(The piece was first started in version 0.9.5)

Thanks!

Never mind...I fixed it.

Sorry!

(I had spliced the piece from a section with a double bar line in front of it. When I changed the bar line back to a single bar, the naturals appeared.)

Is there a way to delete Forum posts?

Thanks

hi David

I'm not sure i can remember everything, but i'll try:

originally started working on the score using version 0.9.5 something; added a thin double bar in the middle of a piece before a key change for emphasis. When i inserted the key change (going from one sharp to no sharps) no natural signs appeared at that to cancel the old key signature.

i upgraded to vers 0.9.6.3, tried adding the key change again, still no natural sign. However, I noticed that when i respaced the music so that the double bar appeared at the end of a line, that courtesy key signatures WERE there. (but still not at the beginning of the next line, where they should also have been). I changed the double bar back to a single bar, and the naturals appeared where they were supposed to go. Re-added the double bar, and things still look OK.

i hope this helps; im sorry i cant document it any more fully.
