Can't change key
I'm using MuseScore version 9.4, and am trying to make a key change in the 17th measure of a song. The song starts out in 2 sharps, and part way through I want to change it to 3 flats. I've followed the instructions of dragging the new key from the key palette and dropping it in the 17th measure, but when I release the mouse button the key disappears. Thanks in advance.

When you drag anything to a bar, the bar has to change colour before it will take. Is the bar changing colour?

The staff in the measure in which I am trying to drop the new key signature turns pinkish red. However, if I drag a new key over the key at the beginning of the song (2 sharps), the sharps turn red and I am able to replace them.

Make sure the measure is still pinkish red when you release the mouse button. Feel free to attach a copy of the file if you are still having trouble.

Yes, the measure is still pinkish red. The interesting thing is that measure 17 and on is in a different key, but the new key signature is not displayed. I've attached the file. Thanks for your help.

It looks like a bug. As a work-around go to Style > Edit Style > Page and add a checkmark next to "Create key sig for all systems". Probably to make it look right you will also want to add a checkmark next to "Create clef for all systems". Then press "OK".
