Transposing-instrument key-change bug
In this score excerpt the music modulates from 4 flats to all naturals. The resulting key signatures make sense with "Concert Pitch" checked, but when it is unchecked, the clarinet part is given a nonsensical key signature: There's no natural indicated to correct the previous E-flat, and there are 2 sharps on F. There's also a redundant key signature in the clarinet part at measure 5.
These look like bugs. Is there way to fix them?
My platform and version are as follows:

Looking at it again, I see odd or redundant courtesy key signatures in the score at measure 5 in the English Horn and Horn parts as well - i.e., in all of the transposing-instrument parts - but not in the parts for the non-transposing instruments.
(This comment left by mistake.)
The change at measure 5 is not redudant (in the parts) as it is in the main score too, this score has 2 key sig changes, 3 key sigs total, the 2nd and 3rd being identical (so yes, redundant, but in the main score too)

My point is that I inserted one modulation, and it created all of these weird artifacts! Is there a known fix or workaround?
Delete both key sig changes (in measure 2 and 5), re-apply the one in measure 2
After that the key sigs for the Clarinet part make sense

Yes, you're right - thanks! I still don't know what caused the original error, but I guess it's now moot...
