I am writing the orchestra score, but I got a problem which I looked in steinberg.help/dorico already, but I cannot find how to solve it.
For the C score has no problem, however when I chose ‘Transposed Pitch’ (in edit menu), the key of instruments changed well, except the trombones and tuba.
The results of trombones and tuba were:
Key Signature changed
The notations were transposed (which I think this is wrong)
I notice that the timpani in the transposed excerpt has not changed pitch.
I see a clef and pitch change in the brass, but I do not see a key change.
Are you trying to transpose the entire piece (from the edit menu) or only change the brass from C-instruments to instruments in Bb, which you need to handle for each instrument in Setup mode.?
Yes, that what’s confusing me. Normally, when pressed the transposed pitch, only:
clarinet in Bb, Trumpet, Horn in F will change. However, I don’t know why the trombones and tuba changed too
James, the brass seems to jump up a whole tone, which makes me wonder whether they have somehow morphed into British Brass Band format (which I understand very little of).
My hazy memory is that British Brass Bands put some of their lower brass into treble clef and use a Bb transposition.
If I am wrong, someone will doubtless correct me. I expect the place to correct this would be in the Setup > Player Card > Instrument pull-down > Change Instrument dialog.
It sounds like you chose the first of the two options for Trombone when adding a player. Choose the one highlighted in blue (in the right-hand column) in this screen shot.
The first one will show the instrument at sounding pitch in bass clef when the score is set to Concert Pitch, but show the instrument at transposed pitch (and key signature) in treble clef when the score is set to Transposed Pitch. The second (highlighted in blue) will show the trombone at sounding pitch in bass clef whichever way the score is set.
