I read the manual which is unclear how to transpose a score. I am trying to transpose from F to Ab.
Do you want simply to transpose selected notes or are you writing in keys and want to change the signatures as well as the notes?
I want to transpose the entire arrangement from F to Ab. So yes the key signature would change to Ab.
Thatās a job for the Transposeā¦ feature. Make sure nothing is selected (use the deselect command if needed), then Write menu>Transpose. In the right field, put F4 to Ab4, it will find itās a minor third up, everything should be set (but you can check), Transpose, and done!
That was the trick. Thanks!
Mark,
In your image, why is Transpose key signature not allowed? For me, sometimes it is there and sometimes not.

It depends whether or not you have a key signature selected, if I remember rightly.
This is very useful!
When you use this command, check that instruments donāt get out of range (flutes too low, violas too low, horns too high, etc.). You may have to reaarange sone parts.
I did check that and yes some instruments were out of range at times.
