Delete key without tranpose
Hi,
I've recently purchased a couple of sheets in PDF and I used the import feature on musescore.com/import to obtain a file that can be edited in musescore. Some of the notes and keys are wrong and I need to modify it, for the notes is quite simple but not with the key. The notes are right and I only need to delete a key that has been inserted where it shouldn't be. My problem is that if I delete the key all notes to the right are transposed because I'm chaning the key. How can I avoid this?

by transposing. Deleting a key sig does not ztranspose, it just keeps all pitches, but, now thast the key sig is gone, adds the now needed accidentals.
So instead of deleting the key sig, just transpose to C major

sorry for my misunderstanding. How can I let the notes where they are and only remove the key ?

again: by transposing (to C-Major)
If yout want to leave the note where they are (i.e. keep their pitches), just delete the key sig, but live with the added accidentals
Or by moving all the notes with unwanted accidentals up/down a semitone

Sorry I realized too late and I couldn't modify my previous post, you told me that I have to transpose, in my case I must remove the C major (8?) on the left hand

When I select notes->transpose everything is greyed but 'by interval'

Well, a picture doesn't help much, can you share the real score (the mscz file)?

Sure, thank you:

Somehow I am seeing only half of this thread, I think, unless Jojo is talking to himself. So I'm kind of answering blind here. But FWIW, deleting a key signature does *not* transpose the notes. It leaves the notes exactly as they were. But tht indeed they now need accidentals; perhaps that is what is meant? If you want the accidentals removed, that is changing the pitch from what they were originally.
For example, if the original key signature was Eb, then a note on the middle line with no accidental is Bb, not B, even though . If you remove the key signature, the note stays Bb, but this requires an accidental, so it is added.
You could remove all accidentals from a selection by selecting it, then pressing Shift+Alt+Up followed by Shift+Alt+Down - this transposes diatonically. Or using the corresponding options in the Notes / Transpose dialog.

Apparently so. I gather from the other thread that he is not talking about key but actually about clef? And it's not that the notes are "transposing", but simply that they are holding their original pitch, which indeed means they move to different staff lines, so the solution is to actually transpose them if the gaol was to return them to the original staff lines?

yep, the clef, G8va
