key signatures after transposition

• Dec 12, 2010 - 23:55

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".

Another work around: Key sigs. will not delete I believe, but can be replaced by dragging the new key sig. to the appropriate measure.
