Odd transpose behaviour
2.0.2 - f51dc11
For some time now I have been seeing this. I do not have a series of steps as it is intermittent.
I have a lead sheet that I want to transpose.
I engage the transpose facility and the window comes up (See attachment).
The "Transpose chord symbols" button is not active.
When I change the transpose interval and then initiate transpose, nothing happens.
File also attached.

I was able to solve this right now by deselecting the first two boxes, hitting "okay" and then rebooting MS.
This is the first time I was able to understand a way to fix it.
The transpose dialog works on whatever is selected. If nothing is selected, then it selects the whole score for you. But if you had selected just a single note, then it transposes just that note. And if you have a piece of text or something else other than a note selected, it will do nothing. I can kind of tell this is probably what is happening here because the option to transpose by key is greyed out - that's the tell-tale sign that you have not selected a range.

I want to transpose the whole thing. A dialog used to come up announcing that the whole thing would be transposed since nothing was selected. That is not happening.
Are you saying I now have to select all to make it work?
Happy New Year.

It is supposed to be the case that if nothing is selected, it will select the whole score. But that only happens if literally nothing is selected. If you have clicked a note or a dynamic or anything at all, that thing is selected, and the transpose will work on that.
You say a dialog came up saying the whole score would be transpose, but it doesn't look from your screenshot like this in fact happened - the greyed-out key selector and the lack of blue box around the score (barely visible behind the dialog) is what makes me say this. And I don't think that dialog even exists in the current version - I think that went away some time ago, although I could be mistaken. It doesn't appear for me in 2.0.2, I can say that. It just selects the whole score automatically. But if you are using an older version that does still have the diualog, maybe the dialog came up one of the times it *did* work?
Anyhiw, to summarize: if you want the whole score transposed, you need to select *nothing* (eg, press Esc), or select all (eg, press Ctrl+A) before starting the operation. What seems most liekly to me is that you had inadvertently selected something and that explains why the score wqas not selected, why the key selector was greyed out, and why nothing happened when you pressed OK.

I fairly certain I had nothing selected and no dialog came up. This has happened numerous times over the last few months.
I'll try more and update if it isn't solved.

Well, I have been making sure that nothing is selected and the problem seems to have disappeared. Thanks.
