musescore flat and sharp symbol not printing

First, I simply select all of the existing staff text and change the type style to something bold and easy to identify.

In fact, recently I've been going over the entire Wikifonia collection of 6000+ scores, and have discovered that quite a few of them have been prepared incorrectly, in that ordinary text input was used for the chord symbols in many cases by people who either did not know how to use the program, or else were using another program to make it and did not manage to convert to the XML format correctly by retaining the chord symbols as true chord symbols.Īt least I have found it relatively easy to correct the problem. I am stuck with 32-bit Vista, and there is no way for me to upgrade to v.3 on this particular OS.Īnyway, I am attaching the score in question, in case anyone has a solution for version 2.3.2, or even a nice work-around. To suggest that I upgrade to version 3 is not the point really, unless someone can affirm that this bug was previously identified and addressed specifically when developing the new version. Today I am faced with a case in which none of this seems to help. Previously I have corrected the bug by simply restarting the program, and sometimes I have corrected it by copying and pasting staves, or changing the instrumentation temporarily,and then back to the original instrumentation, or by displaying the score in concert key, and then in the instrument key. Yes, of course, I have the option selected in the 'transpose' dialog box, to 'transpose chord symbols.' That was an obvious precaution. It has happened to me many times with many different songs from all different sources, but never consistently, and certainly not usually, so my only conclusion is that it is simply a bug.

I have seen other users report the issue, but no one ever thought of the possibility that this was simply an inherent bug related to the maneuver of ordinary automatic transposing.

I am convinced that there is a bug in this version, and perhaps in previous versions, and perhaps even in version 3, in which the chord symbols do not get adjusted when transposing. I have been using MuseScore for about one year now, and I am now on 2.3.2 on Vista.
