In the help manual it says:

Choose the Key

You can use the special operators "tk" and "tr" to set or transpose a key signature.

Typing tkc plus the Enter key will set the key of the song to C. Typing tkbb sets it to Bb. Note that this sets the key signature but does not transpose the song.

The "tr" operator sets the key signature and transposes the song. Typing trf and pressing Enter would transpose the song to the key of F, typing trab would transpose the song to Ab.

Another way to set a key signature is to click on the [Key] button on the toolbars and choose the key of your song from the lists of all major and minor keys.



If you select from the "Transpose and Set Key Signature" column, the song will be transposed to the new key signature you choose.

If you select from the "Just Set Key Signature (no transpose)" column, the key signature will be changed but the song will not be transposed.

Here is where it gets interesting as it states:

You can have multiple keys in a song by changing the key signature in the Edit Settings for bar dialog (F5 function key). The new key signature is shown on notation.


I tried it in a 12 bar blues song that is 36 measures long in the key of G and using the F5 button, I told it to change to the key of E starting on measure 13, clicked on the regenerate key but after regenerating, it still played in the key of G on measure 13.

Now I am really confused.
