key signatures after transposition
What a lovely program!
However, I have written a score for 14 instruments in concert pitch, and I want to transpose the whole score up a major 2nd. It transposes fine, but the original key signatures stay in and will not allow themselves to be deleted. This leaves me with a situation where there are dozens of accidentals instead of new parts with a different key signature.
The scenario is that I am publishing a concert pitch version, an Eb version and a Bb version.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Would it work to write the whole score again with no transposing instruments involved and then transpose the whole lot?
Yours

How did you transpose a major 2nd up ? If you select everything with Ctrl + A and go to Notes -> Transpose. You can choose the interval and check the box "Transpose key signature".

Thank you Lasconic. I suspect that may be the answer - although I have not yet tried it.
Another work around: Key sigs. will not delete I believe, but can be replaced by dragging the new key sig. to the appropriate measure.
I mentioned how this works incorrectly for me as well in a comment in this thread: http://musescore.org/en/node/3096

ceegers, It was working incorrectly for you with the nightly development builds not the stable version right?

It wasn't working entirely correctly in the stable version either, it was just worse in the nightly. Can't open the new nightly, but when I can, I'll let you know if anything's changed.

Have you read what Lasconcic had to say re key signatures after transposition? It is probably the answer for my problem.
