Unwanted transposition of one staff

• Nov 23, 2022 - 17:49

Hi,

I'm not a very experienced user but I already wrote several multi-staff scores.

I'm currently writing a 6-staff score for a choir... and I made some unwanted transposition of one staff while keeping the original height of notes and I cannot find how to restore the original writing.

While writing this score, I suddenly noticed that one staff is now displayed 1 tone below my original writing.
But surprisingly, when playing the score, the sound for this staff does still correspond to the original writing (i.e. it is now played 1 tone above what is displayed).

To be more explicit :
I initially wrote : D E D E...
Now the staff score is displayed as C D C D...
but it is still played as D E D E...
despite... in the staff properties there is ** no transposition **

I guess I inadvertedly typed some key combination that resulted into such unwanted transposition.
But I can't understand what I did and why it is now played 1 tone above what is written.

I have already investigated the documentation and the forums... but I'm stuck.

If I now transpose the staff 1 tone above its current writing, I do get back my initial notes
but they are still played one tone above what is written after transposition.

Any hint on how to solve this problem and restore the initial note and sound ?

Thank you in advance for any help

Phil

The instrument is "soprano voice"... so there is no associated transoposition.

But after an extensive investigation I have identified the problem.
It was related to a non-null vertical shift of the head of notes with respect to the initial position.
I remember having tryied to realign the words wrt the staff and I probably made a mistake at that moment.

I have noticed that using the inspector.

After sélection of all notes of that staff and resetting the vertical shift to 0, everything went back to normal.
That was rather tricky to identify.

Thank your for the answers.
