Transposition Playback 2006-08-29 05:53 am Greetings all:I usually don't have a problem changing the playback when I transpose a piece of music, but I now have a choral piece I'm working on and have repeatedly tried to get it to play back as written/transposed, but it won't change over. Is there a "bug" or fix that anyone knows of? We're supposed to start working on this piece this week and so far...no luck. Solutions would be lovely.Thanks so much!Kolinka (Coleen) Quote Selected

Re: Transposition Playback Reply #2 – 2006-08-29 08:14 am I have a hunch that when you transposed it, Kolinka, you had the "update staff playback transposition" button selected. That's used for playing back while you transpose parts to print for the transposing instruments, but it should be turned off if you want your playback to follow the change in the written notes.Probably the easiest thing to do is to transpose the staff back, still with the update staff playback box checked, to get back to the original key and notes, then just redo the transposition with the box not checked. Another way is to calculate how many semitones you had transposed, then enter that in the Staff Properties / Instrument tab (use F2 to get there). That may require a little trial and error, but it's not going to take a lot of time or effort. Quote Selected

Re: Transposition Playback Reply #5 – 2006-08-30 03:07 am Yup, David was right! I had the "Update staff playback transposition" on. Followed his suggestion and everything is playing back as it should Thanks so much to all for your input.Coleen Quote Selected
