Chord change with the Key signature

Hello
I notice when I download some score that when I alter the Key signature that the chords alter appropriately as well. How do I make that happen on my manual inputs? thanks

Merely changing the key signature doesn't transpose notes of chords, but the Transpose command (under the Tools menu) does. So depending on the current state of the score and exactly what you want to happen, some combination of the options in that dialog will probably give the results you want. If you need further assistance , you can attach your score using the "Choose a file" button right below where you type your comment, and then explain in more detail what you are trying to do.

Hi Marc
When I add my chords to the staff of music to make lead sheets, I use the Cntrl T function and manually put in the chord above the chosen note.

So when i use the Tools / Transpose the chords won't change to suit the new chosen signature and I have to re-enter the chords.

I figure I'm not entering the chords in the proper manner above the staff. I found this out through joaomelodia's score but not sure how s/he does it from her uploads to musescore. I'll send a lead sheet that don't automatically transpose the chords.
