Transpose problem in musescore 4

• Mar 18, 2024 - 13:15

Hello ! Does anyone have a clue why it does not work to transpose? It changed key from D- to F but not the actual chords. Some text in the toolbar becomes grey( not active)
Is a reinstallation advisable?
Grateful for an idea

If you by "D-" means D minor, what do you mean when you say you "changed key"? D minor and F (major) have the same key signature (two flats).

What did you actually do? What happened? And what had you expected to happen instead?

You say you have ticked the 'Transpose chord symbols' option in the transpose dialog, so click on one of the un-transposed chord symbols and look in the Status Bar (located at the bottom left of the screen) to see if it reads as 'Chord symbol'.
Perhaps the chord symbols were added as regular text, and not having used Ctrl+K when entered. Regular text does not transpose.

I'm having the same issue with unchecking the box. NO matter what I do chord symbols do not change. This is the first score I've downloaded which doesn't allow opening in the earlier version of MuseScore3! I knew there was a reason I never use 4. Every time I do, I cannot achieve the same results without extensive relearning!

This is with a score I've downloaded from the public site in order to avoid typing in the basic melody and chords before I create my own performance edition.

It is not my file. I have tried re-entering the chords using CTRL+K but the same thing - it does not transpose. And occasionally it will not transpose the notes either!
