Concert Pitch disabled when lyrics added

• May 13, 2011 - 06:17

Using MuseScore 1.0 on Mageia. I play clarinet. I copy songs from song books into MuseScore as written, then use the "Concert Pitch" button to swap to the pitch I need for the clarinet.

Today I added lyrics as I went along (mainly to help me find where I was up to.) The "Concert Pitch" button was then disabled and so was "Transpose." I got around this by exporting to Lilypond and transposing there.

Is this a feature, or a bug? I suppose that when printing for singing, there is no need for the "Concert Pitch" option.

When entering lyrics, many things are greyed out, including Concert Pitch (both the menu item and the button) and Transpose. Get out of lyrics mode (just click somewhere else on the score) and those options should be back.

Could you post a sample score that demonstrates the problem? I don't have any problems using Concert Pitch or transpose on my scores that include lyrics.
