Thanks to all who helped. Now, how do I change chord symbols using no key signature?

Dear Bob,


This is worth a try: I guess that you have chord symbols for piano, bass, guitar ( if there is a part for it), and for solos. The chord symbols should be correct for parts that have a 3-flat signature. For piano and bass, you could use "independent elements/key signatures", set the signature for c minor, remove the check from "signatures" under "items to display", then select the whole part with the Mass Mover and go to the Cautionary Accidentals plug-in. In its dialog box, check "diatonic accidentals." That should provide the missing flats in those parts. For the solo sections, you could create a staff style that is set up like the piano part - 3-flat independent signature with signature hidden. It sounds crazy, but it just might give you what you want - and not have to change your chord symbols. Let me know if it works.


You all might have an easier time with the "Classic Transposition" plugin for stuff like this. It's available at my site. Get the score into "C" (for no sigs that is), then transpose notes, chords, alternate basses independently.
