Global note edit
Is there any way to make a global change to notes, for instance, in a given staff change all C sharps to D flats?

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work. I can select all the G#s, either at the same pitch like G#4, or using Same Note Name which will select G#[1-8], but then when I hit A to change the selected notes to A, nothing happens to the notes, but the cursor moves to some other G#. What I had hoped would happen is that hitting A would change all the selected notes to A and leave them selected, and then hitting down arrow would change all the selected As to Ab.
I think I see another way to do it though, and I'll post again if I can verify that it works.

Using only up/down arrow after selecting as above should work.

Use the arrow keys (or Alt+arrows for diatonic moves) as Shoichi pointed out.
Or if respelling is what you want, use the default shortcut to respell pitches: J

OK, here's what seems to work. Score is in C Major, so there should be no unexpressed accidentals.
Select a G#, hit Select/More/Same Note Name, all G#'s are now selected, hit up arrow, all G#'s change to A natural, then hit down arrow, all A naturals changed to Ab.

are you sure all A naturals changes to Ab? I think that only the A that are in the selection (the ones that were previously G#) should change back to Ab. Other A notes that were always A should not change.

Only the selected notes are affected by the arrow keys. Yet again, just pressing "J" to respell works as well.

Yes, I meant that all the selected notes changed to Ab.
