Transpose doesn't transpose chordnames
Transposing a score works fine, except for the chordnames. I can check the box that says "transpose chordnames" but nothing happens to them. The rest of transposing works fine.
Ubuntu Intrepid, mScore 0.9.4 1309

I'm missing the transposition of chordnames too, what could I do now? My system is Windows XP.

This transpose chord name bug is fixed in the latest prerelease 1344 which you can download at http://prereleases.musescore.org/windows

I downloaded from the green box originally - shouldn't this have been the stable release? How can I figure out the release # of the stable release? (I'm trying to re-download now to see if it fixes the problem)
Note: I thought Thomas was working with a Windows version

My mistake version 0.9.5 is revision 2012 (go to Help > About to see the revision number). Feel free to share the score you are having problems with.
For more instructions, please see [[nodetitle:How to report bug or ask for support]]

I've attached the score with which I'm having problems. I entered the chord names using Text. I'm assuming that's the only way to enter. Does it have to do with how I'm entering them? (I'm new to MuseScore and greatly appreciate this forum, by the way!

The reason why transposing the chord names does not work is because of your use of the - sign for minor. While I concur - is a perfectly ok syntax for chord names, MuseScore apparently doesn't support it yet.
So, I filed a feature request in the issue tracker: #4443: Support chord name syntax - for minor You can track the status of this feature request by subscribing to that issue.

At the moment MuseScore only transposes chord names that it recognizes. For minor chords it recognizes "Cm" but not "C-". For a full list of the suffixes that it recognizes right-click on the chord name and choose "Harmony Properties..." The "Extensions" section lists the recognized chord names (be sure to also check the "Other" drop-down menu).

Thanks to both David and Thomas for quick response and for putting in a request. That seems to work although it would great to have a comprehensive list of 'approved' chord names (ideally in the documentation!)I'm on a Mac. Usually the right-click would use ctrl, but ctrl doesn't seem to do anything in MuseScore. Is there another way to access a list of what is accepted for chord names? Should I just look at the 'chords' file that I downloaded? There are some of those chord names that don't display correctly on my Macintosh (ver 10.5.8). If I look at CMaj9#11, the # shows up as a box (I've attached this file)
Also, is there any way in MuseScore in general to perform 'right-click' commands?
In reply to Accepted Chord Names - how to find the complete list on a mac by hfholstine
Version 0.9.5 was the first release for Mac so there are a few issues specific to Mac that slipped by unnoticed before the release. I think most of these issues (squares instead of sharps and flats, and difficulties with right click) have been worked on for the upcoming release.
In reply to Version 0.9.5 was the first by David Bolton
I can confirm that both issues are solved for next version.
Regarding a chart of all supported extension, normally you should be able to generate one with Plugin -> Chord Chart
