Octave higher
Just wondering how to change a bar so everything is an octave higher.
I want to change whole bars, but I also want to know how to do it with just one note, thanks

Drag-select whatever it is, then Transpose.
Just select the notes (or the entire measure) you want to adjust and press ctrl-uparrow for octave up, or ctrl-down for octave down. No need to transpose.

Thanks!
Hold the shift key down while selecting the first and last notes in the bar. Then hold down Ctrl and press the up or down arrow key to adjust the notes to the proper octave.

Thanks -- MuseScore puts awesome power into the hands of us with minimal knowledge of western musical notation, sometimes I can't even figure out what question to ask.

I have an 11-year old MacBook Pro and usually have no problems with it using MuseScore. I tried the Ctrl-Up arrow but instead of moving a note an octave higher it split to show all open windows. The arrows I'm guessing you're talking about are the 4 arrows on the bottom right of the keyboard that indicate four directions: up, down, right, left. I don't see anything else that looks like an arrow, but these are not moving an octave higher.
