Moving key signatures rhythmically
You can move key signatures to new rhythmic positions after they have been input.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, select the key signatures you want to move.
NOTE
When using the mouse, you can only move one key signature rhythmically at a time.
2. Move the selected key signatures according to the current rhythmic grid resolution in any of
the following ways:
Press Alt/Opt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.
Press Alt/Opt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.
Click and drag the key signature to the right/left.
RESULT
The key signatures are moved to new rhythmic positions. They take effect from their new
positions until the next key signature, or the end of the ow, whichever comes rst.
NOTE
Key signatures can only be moved along the staff. If you want to move a key signature across
staves, you must delete the key signature and input a new key signature on the other staff.
Only one key signature can exist at each rhythmic position, except for key signatures that
only apply to single staves. If a key signature passes over another key signature as part of its
move, the existing key signature is deleted and replaced by the key signature being moved.
You can undo this action, but any key signatures deleted in the process are only restored if
you moved the key signature using the keyboard.

Transposing key signatures alongside selections
You can transpose key signatures at the same time as transposing notes, which transposes both
key signatures and notes by the same degree.
NOTE
Dorico SE automatically shows the appropriate key signatures for transposing instruments in
transposing layouts.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, make a selection that includes both a key signature change and notes.
2. Choose Write > Transpose to open the Transpose dialog.
3. Adjust the parameters required for your transposition, such as interval and quality.
TIP
We recommend using the Calculate interval section to determine your required
settings, for example, if you want to transpose from G
major to G major.
