Your key signature is D major but you've written it in Eb, hence all the accidentals. So before transposing as indicated by Jojo change the key signature by highlighting the two sharps, then selecting three flats from the palette/keysignatures.

Here it is transposed. I've done the top line of chords and added a flute so you can hear them. You need to change the remaining chords. I also suggest you read the Handbook and check out the difference between a slur and a tie.

Or an alternative version, as I consider your one to be in C! In practice the first 8 bars of the tune are in the home key, the next 8 are in the dominant, and then the first 8 bars are repeated to finish, although the score doesn't show this. Therefore if the OP wants it in G he presumably wants it like this attachment below (though I hope he's learned by now to do it for himself).

Yes, I did it wrongly. But why want it in the key of G anyway? More usual would be D and using the synthesizer to set A at 475Hz or thereabouts. The piece would then start on D (bagpipe D, Concert D#).
Note the chords still need fixed here - they don't sound quite right..

I have no idea - you'd have to ask the OP! S/he presumably chose the chords, too?
