Setting a local key

You can also set a different key for the selected staff only. This is useful for instruments like oboe and English horn that change display transpose and therefore also the key.

1. Make the desired staff active, open the Score Settings dialog and select the Staff page.
2. Activate the “Local Keys” option on the Main subpage in the Clef/Key section.
   Note

   This option is only available if “Key Changes for entire Project” is activated in the Score Settings dialog, on the Project–Notation Style subpage (Keys category).

3. Use the scrollbar to the right to set the desired key.
4. Click Apply to set the selected key for the staff.
