Midi Key signature

Hello

I imported a midi file. The piece on this file is in C minor; but NWC shows all non natural notes as sharps.

I wonder if I can preset in order to "explain" NWC that I wish to use flats instead. Or to convert all sharp notes to their enharmonic flat notes.

Regards from Portugal

Have you tried

  • Tools > Check enharmonic spelling or

  • Tools > Transpose Staff...> "0 semitones"; "Favour Flat Keys in Ambigious Cases"?
If these won't work, I can't think of any other workaround other than doing it manually.

Hth,

Thank you

I almost did it
1 Selected and inserted the wanted key signature.
2 Checked audit enharmonic spelling.

The only problem is that now all notes out of the key are shown with flats.Like a D major harmony writen : D - Gb -A!!
Never mind, fixing them will be much easier.

Thank you for helping,

You can find any Gb (2nd line, treble clef) with the following search string:
|PitchPos:*F#5@2
where the "*" is added to ensure that the Gb is found even if not the lowest note of the chord.

If you want F# as well as Gb, at any octave and clef, enter
|PitchPos:*F#

Hope this helps!

Important: the vertical bar line | must be the first character.

|*F# is an abbreviated version of the last search string, but is a bit less self-explanatory.
