Muse 4 Won't transpose
I try to transpose the flute part in measures 25 and 26 but nothing happens. I select the 7 notes then use Tools/Transpose by interval up a minor 3rd and then try by key to Eb. In all cases nothing happens.
Strangely, if I do the same thing with the oboe part it works so I understand something is wrong with the flute part but what?
Thanks
John

Yes, very strange.
Workaround: Select the whole flute notes, copy (CTRL+C), open instrument dialog (i), insert a new flute and paste the flute notes into that. Then the transpose is ok. Delete the original flute.

Waiting for a better solution but thanks. I could just put the new notes in too. For 7 notes or so it's not a big deal
Curious ..........if you use the "up arrow" it works !!

There is definitely something wrong with the flute staff. But I don't know how to find out what it is.
I exported you score as Musicxml. Then opened it in MU3 as a test. The transposition of those two measures worked.
Then I opened that same xml in MU4 and the transposition worked.

"There is definitely something wrong with the flute staff."
Stave/properties shows it is a percussion staff.
The obvious next question is how did it get to be a percussion staff?

I dimly remember starting with a percussion staff then putting a treble clef in an hoping that would make it an instrument staff. I don't see any way to change it from a percussion staff.

Well...you never know about flute players. Always beating their own drum. The other question is why did exporting change it so it worked.
Shows as Standard in the mxl.

Before trying that I, just created a new flute staff and copied the part to it. Transposition worked fine in the new staff so I just deleted the one that didnd't work. Problem solved. Guess it makes sense that a percussion staff doesn't take transposition.
Thanks everyone
