Pitch

• May 1, 2024 - 20:38

I was making a song from sheet music I found but it was in a different pitch: ex: the sheet music was written with a F# and a C# but in the score I forgot to change the pitch so I have a page of work that doesn't sound together. is there anyway I can change the concert pitch to F# and C# while still editing?

I believe (???) you mean that you forgot to enter the key signature (I suspect D, 2 sharps?) before entering notes? So all the notes that should be C# are Cnatural? And the same with the F's?

If that's correct, there are AT LEAST two ways of fixing this. Since you have only two notes to correct, I'll give you the easy one. (If you were trying to get to F# or Gb, it'd be easier to use the "hard" method.)

With the score open, press Ctrl+A (shortcut for "Select All").
Find a C and right-click it. From the context menu, click on Select / More....
From the Select notes dialog, check Same note name, In selection (selected by default), and for the Action choose Replace selection. Then click OK.
This will result in all and only the C's in the score selected. Press the up arrow to move them all simultaneously from C to C#.

Then repeat the sequence selecting and moving all the F's. Be sure to add the key signature at the beginning, either before doing this or after.
