Simple question about the midi note editor

Cubase

Can I change the note names so A# becomes Bb, etc.?

You can, but there are some requirements.

First you need to have the Preference: “Event Display - Chords & Pitches” → “Enharmonics from Chord Track” enabled.

And then you need to have a chord track with at least one relevant event.

For example, if you are writing a tune in Eb major, you create a Eb Chord in the chord track.
Then, once you enter the Key Editor for any instrument, you will notice D# is no more, G# is no more, A# is no more, but there’s Eb, Ab, Bb instead.

Of course, if you then do a modulation to E major and put an E chord in the chord track, the key editor will again change to display F#, C#, G#, D# as it should.

Thanks so much for this info gg. I will try this asap. I apologize for the late response. I’ve upgrade C12 last month and those adjustments took a bit of time; not that much though. Many thanks. Albert
