Accidental edits

When I edit accidentals in the part, changes do not take place in the score.

Someone told me it was because I needed to check GLOBALLY in order for this to work.

Checked GLOBALLY, made my edits, part changed, score did not.

Suggestions? One should be able to edit accidentals from the parts and not just editing from score, right?

Unedited in part, GLOBALLY, checked:

EDITED in part:

SCOREL: Still shows sharps

Bert,
Are you using a specific transposing instrument?
How did you edit the accidentals?
I shifted the three notes up a step and added the "b"s, without having any issues:


If you respell the notes in the score (using Respell Using Note Name Above/Below), the change will also apply to the parts — but if you respell in the parts, it won’t affect the score. That’s the normal behavior, and often very useful.

However, if you do want to propagate spelling changes from a part to the score, select the respelled notes in the part and use Write > Respell > Propagate Note Spellings.

(I think it worked in @k_b’s example above because it wasn’t technically a respell — it was probably considered as a change of pitch.)

Yes, you are right. The reason for my procedure is that I haven’t found that “respell” option on the iPad version yet..
On my Dorico Pro version on the “big” computer I use respell all the time :slight_smile:

Did you do it in the part view and your change shows up in score, too? I can edit score and it show up correctly in part. If I edit in part, with GLOBALLY checked, it will not show up edited in the score.

That seems highly time consuming—changing the accidentals in parts [using option = or -], then finding a sub-menu routine to make it look right in the score. Someone had told me [FB forum] that checking GLOBALLY was the answer. I guess not?

I’m afraid that Locally/Globally has no effect on this type of change.

You can create a Keycommand

Or create a shortcut to this feature in the jumpbar
