Hello, I just wanted to know if there is a possible way to bring an entire section of a song up an octave or two without remaking the entire song over again. Thanks!
Hi Earendel
I usually do that as follows:
1.Edit --> Select All
2.Control + Shift + Up Arrow seven times
3.Cancel Select All, then Tools --> Audit Note Stems
If neccessary,
4.Again Select All
5.Control + E
6.Choose Notes tab
7.Set Slur and Tie dirtection default
... or select the clef, press cntrl E and enter an octave shift in the dialog box.

The octave shift will work for playback but not printing.
Minor variation on Kaz's method - just highlight the passage you want to move up, then follow his method.
Another way that avoids the slur/tie direction problem is simply to transpose the entire staff up an octave - tools/transpose/+12.

That's right. Using transpose function is good way.
But when transposed, courtesy accidentals
(which show previous accidentals are not valid
any further) are deleted.
Any idea to preserve them?
Thanks for the help
You're welcome Earendel.
Kaz, there's no way to preserve the text, but you could use the find tool (Ctrl-F) to locate them. Maybe one day we'll get native courtesy accidentals. They sure come in handy.
