When I add a transposing instrument I don't see the key signature. However, when I copy and paste between staves of different tonality, they notes are correct. just the key signature is missing.

I'm using the following version: 32fe6c4

To reproduce this, load the score: Invention_#13.mscz
http://musescore.org/sites/musescore.org/files/Invention_%2313.mscz
This is a harpsichord score.
Bring up the Add Instrument dialog.
Select soprano saxophone. A new staff is added. The key signature should be D, but it is C.
Now select the 1st measure of the right hand of the harpsichord, and copy it (CMD-C on the mac).
Point to the first measure of the soprano sax score and paste (CMD-V).
Notice that the notes are correct, the first note E has been pasted as F#.
But the key signature is missing.

I tried to drag and drop a key signature into the 1st measure of the soprano sax staff. I dropped the D (2 sharps), but what I saw appear was E (4 sharps).


Comments

Personally, I still think it would be much more intuitive to adjust all staves according to the key that is dropped on a staff. (when not in concert pitch).

If I want the saxophone play in D, the other instruments should see their keys adjusted automatically.
