How to manage key signatures

• Jan 3, 2014 - 15:12

Hi,

In the attached document I want to have an independent new key signature on each line, without the key signature change appearing at the end of the previous line as it does now. For example, on the last system on measure 32, I do not want to have the naturals appearing to cancel out all the previous sharps, I just want the new signature of 6 flats to appear.

Thanks for your help!

Someone here was kind enough to explain this to me when I had the same problem. If you right-click on the key signature, the drop-down menu has a "hide naturals" option. But you have to do it on the new line, and then delete the key signature at the end of the previous line. I think this might be what you want.

Someone had also suggested that, but it didn't seem to work for me. I may have a corrupted file though. I'd entered the entire score, which I've posted here, and it still doesn't play the correct notes after the key change. See my post "Can't Change Key". I've given up on that score. Starting a new song today!

Hmm. As we explained in our responses, your score actually plays back perfectly on our systems. It just has lots of apparently wrong notes (places with mismatched accidentals betwene the two staves - like C in one staff buit C# in the other sounding at the same time). Again, it would would help if you pointed to a *specific* note in a *specific* measure you think is not playing as it should. But I checked each and every note (!) from measure 41 onwards, on my system at least, they played exactly as they should have according to how they are displaying. So either they are displaying differently for you than for us, or they are sounding differently for you than for us, or else you incorrectly expecting the score not to sound dissonant even though it contains a number dissonant notes.
