Key Signature not respected when notes are played
See attached file in e flat with one accidental set via Key Signature.
When the first bar is played, the audio is correct. But when playing first bar of line 3 audio output is "e f g" while I would expect "e f sharp g".
Pretty cetain this is a misunderstanding on my part. But I would expect the entire sheet to be in the key signature, which I selected earlier.
EDIT: Adding a second question: need to add a Tie which goes into second ending. Found https://musescore.org/en/node/267614
But is there a ticket to improve the default behavior? This should be a solvable problem to implement logic so MuseScore behaves correctly by default and no manual workaround is required.

It could be the encoding of the file source (xml)?

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure what to do with this information. I thought it was a mscz file? So something is wrong with the file?

When I look at your score the first bar of line 3 reads E Fnat G and that is what I hear played. It should be F# but MS is playing what is there.

Intersting. it looks different for me on macOS 10.15.4 and MuseScore 3.4.2.25137.

Ah well, macOS is a complete mystery to me. Who knows what it might do.

That is strange indeed

Agreed. Could it be a problem that this file was in a different key originally? I copied the original file to have a good starting Layout for a lead sheet and then changed key to match the new tune I wanted to enter.

Could be related to it having been an xml import. But still it should behave the same on Mac and Windows (and Linux too)
Not sure why you'd expect that, there clearly is a natural accidental before that F in 3rd system 1st measure

(Clearly) not the case for me: https://musescore.org/en/node/303381#comment-989513

Great question. Re-opened file to double check and for reasons unknown the key signature now indeed shows in each row as well as the missing resolution signs. After removing the latter, the lead sheet now behaves as expected.
As can be seen in screenshots by others and my initial screenshot, there was a discrepancy of MuseScore not correctly showing the Key Signature for any staff after the first staff. And by not doing that, it also did not see the need to show the resolution sign. Thus using F natural indeed, or rather not using F sharp while the notes were entered.
Feels like a bug due to the inconsistent behavior.

How did you change the key? By transposition, or by merely dragging a new key signature onto the staff?

But keysig is there. And that natural too. The clef is omitted because for that score Format > Style > Page > Create clef for all systems is unticked. Key signature can get disabled at the same place
