Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
-
Create a new score with a transposing instrument, e.g. Soprano Sax
-
Input a note anywhere except b.1.
-
Open the part and switch to concert pitch
RESULT: The note is transposed correctly, but the key signature is incorrect -
Still in the part, switch to transposed pitch
-
Turn off multimeasure rests (Ctrl+Shift+M)
-
Switch back to concert pitch
RESULT: Both note and key signature are correct, as expected
Note: inputting music to b.1 rather than turning off MMRests at step 5 also causes the key signature to draw as expected.
