Part-specific key signatures
I am working on an orchestration of a piece by Debussy--one of the Préludes. It is in A maj, and I'm writing for clarinets in A; but it modulates briefly to Ab maj, at which point Musescore changes the clarinet part to seven flats. I would like to notate this passage (and this passage only) enharmonically with a key signature of five sharps--is there any way to do this?

A couple of ways, yes. One is to use Staff/Part Properties to tell MuseScore you prefer sharps for that instrument. Another is to use instrument changes to change the transposition from the usual minor third to, I guess, augmented second.

Got it!
Clarinet in A ----> Change to Clarinet in A (transposing at aug. 2nd, sharps preferred) -----> Change to Clarinet in A
Hmmpf!
