Enharmonically equivalent keys
I'm wondering if this could be handled better when transposing. I've been arranging a piece that goes through many different keys, one of which was B major. In the course of editing, I transposed the whole score up a major second. Because MS seems to favour flats, it took the passage in B major up to Db major. The result was a whole lot of notes with a sharp marking and I had to manually change the key signature of each part to C# major.
Is there a way for MuseScore to recognize issues like these? Ideally, it'd either go into the key causing the lowest number of accidentals, or actually transpose the notes into the key it says the the piece is in.
P.S. I apologize if this is the wrong forum.

Could you not use the Transpose by Key signature dialogue?
Incidentally MuseScore's weakness in this area has been commented on before - if you are habitually writing in a key with more than 3 sharps/flats then MuseScore's inability to handle enharmonic accidentals properly becomed disticntly tedious.

I suppose I could have, but I'm not sure it would have made a difference.

It would because you can specify the key as C# or Db depending on what you want.
You would have had to transpose each key section separately, but it's the only workaround I can think of right now.
