Edit Key Dialog

The Edit Key dialog allows you to specify and edit the key for your staff.

  • To open the Edit Key dialog, double-click the key symbol at the beginning of the staff.

Note

If Key Changes for the Entire Project is activated in the Keys category of the Score Settings dialog (ProjectNotation Style page), all changes made to the key always affect the entire project, so that it is not possible to define different keys for different staves.
