Key Signatures

When opening a new file, the first measure defaults in the key of C Major. To change keys, press on the measure between the clef and Time Signature, or where key signatures would typically be displayed. This will open the Key Signature Palette. From here, press the corresponding button for which key you would like your file to read.

To change the key of a staff in the first measure, select the key signature, then choose which key you would like to change the staff to.

See the Bar-line Palette for instructions on how to change keys in the middle of a piece.
