Default Re: Key Change Cancellations

Hi, Ralph:

I d/l'ed your duet and had a look at it.

At the top, I see that the Soprano line is in 4 flats, but the Alto line is in 3 flats. Is that your intention? It says here that "the Alto Recorder is a non-transposing instrument". I do see that the transposition makes sense.

That being said, I see where your key change at bar 33 goes to Bb, without the cancellation naturals in the Soprano staff.

I went to concert pitch, transposed the notes from bar 33 onward back down a tone, deleted the key sig change, then re-transposed from bar 33 onward in concert pitch and re-did the instrument transposition.

All appears correctly.

I think that you did the key sig change separately for each line while the Alto line was transposed, which only applies the key sig to that line, and the "Show cancellation naturals" box may not have been checked for the Soprano line, thus, the cancellation naturals didn't appear in the Soprano line.

The suggestion then is to do the key sig change from concert pitch, then re-apply the instrument transpositions.

I hope that helps.

David
