3. Press Shift-K to open the key signatures popover.

4. Enter the key signature you want into the popover.

For example, enter g for G minor or 3s for 3 sharps.

NOTE

Entering 3s creates a key signature of A major, rather than F♯ minor.

5. Input the key signature and close the popover in one of the following ways:

●

To input a key signature on all staves, press Return .

● To input a key signature only on the selected staff or staves across which the caret

extends, press Alt/Opt-Return .

RESULT

During note input, key signatures are input at the caret position, even if this is in the middle of a

bar. However, it is preferable to input key signature changes at barlines.

All subsequently input notes follow the input key signature, until the next existing key signature

or the end of the ow, whichever comes rst. If playing in notes using a MIDI keyboard,

accidentals are spelled according to the key signature.

When adding key signatures to existing music, they are added at the rhythmic position of the

earliest selected item. They appear to the right of barlines and clefs, and to the left of other

items, even if this is in the middle of an existing bar. If you selected an existing key signature, the

new key signature directly replaces the existing one.

NOTE

An individual key signature on a single staff is not intended for transposing instruments.

Transpositions of notes and key signatures are done automatically for transposing instruments.
