Dear all,
>I copied Guitar to akk
>selected one voice as described here: http://musescore.org/node/5004
>transposed down one octave
As you can see something went wrong with the acidentals: the (5th note) e-sharp went flat and a natural was added to the (9th note)f-sharp, it goes on in the following bars...
Thank you for the wonderful software!

the funny thing is that after i rewrote the accidental manually it disapears(together with the one in the 2nd vioce) if i arrow the note down an octave, but they stay on if i transpose the note down (notes>transpose>...)

hi Marc,
thanks for the input!
I am affraid i can not.
Above I described the steps, by now the score has been changed too often...
Take care, oNNo

The steps aren't very explicit about what the score looked like before, so I'm having trouble being sure if I am doing it right.

It sounds like you are saying that if the original score has an E#, and you transpose down an octave (by the transpose, it turns into an Eb, and other things go wrong too (the accidentals on the subsequent F's). Is that what you are saying? If so, then it no longer seems reproducible, so I'd like to close this. But I can't tell if there is more to it the original report than that. Do you at least remember if this was using 1.X or one of the nightly builds?

Since there has been no further information, I close this.

Please post if you continue to encounter problems.

"the original score has an E#, and you transpose down an octave (by the transpose, it turns into an Eb, and other things go wrong too (the accidentals on the subsequent F's). Is that what you are saying?" yes exactly that

I re-open if there is still a problem.

aeLiXihr, could you post a new set of steps with a sample score, the version and operating system you are using? This may help.

I am on 1.3 5702 on Ubuntu 12.04 now.

I can copy "gitaar2" into "gitaar"
Than it is "impossible" to select the 1st note in the 1st voice since the 1st voice is aparently "underneath" the 2nd. If i click it noting seems to happen(the note stays black) but if i press left or right arrow the next (2nd voice) note turns green.
So i dragged the 1st note in the 2nd voice down in order to be able to select the 1st note of the 1st voice.
Than i clicked right, selected same voice, same staff, add to selection.
Pressed ctrl+arrow down.
The accidentals in the upper voice are messed.

Thanks!

I can reproduce this starting from scratch as follows:

1) new score, flute, key of G
2) click first measure, N
3) select voice 2
4) E, Up (should enter E# bottom line)
5) select voice 1
6) E, Down (should enter Eb top space)
7) Ctrl+Down, Ctrl+Up

Result: the E# originally entered in voice 2 loses it's sharp visually, although it still behaves as an E#.
