Minor keys may have trouble with “spelling” of leading notes (eg in Gm – which uses a Bb key signature – F# may be shown as Gb). • Make sure you have a key signature at the start of the staff. If you don’t need a key signature, enter the C key signature (Insert Key signature – C major). • Goto Tools | Transpose. • Choose how many semitones up or down you want to go. • Clear the Update staff box (unless you a writing for a transposing instrument, like some of the woodwinds and brass, and are transposing a part that you want to keep the pitch of). • Click OK. • This is normally enough. Sometimes, however, a little more work is needed. Enharmonic spellings may be incorrect. For instance, F# may be written asGb. In this case, transpose again, this time specifying 0 as the “distance”. This will respell all enharmon
