Transposing from B flat Major to A flat Major

• Jun 15, 2021 - 09:13

Besides changing the Key signature from 2 flats to 4 flats, what must I do with the notes? Accidentals? I changed the key signature from 2 flats to 4 flats and did nothing else in "Noteworthy" (music software) and upon playing it, it did not sound correct.
I need to do something else.

Put the key signature back to what it was and instead use [Tools]>[Transpose]. Select transpose "To key" and specify the new key. Make sure you have "Transpose key signatures" option ticked and if you have chord symbols also tick the "Transpose chord symbols" option. Then press the "OK" button and Hey Presto!
