I have Semper Supra brass quintet with percussion from Muscore. I tried to see what was the key signature to add woodwind parts. Each time I try it seems that the parts are all in the same key BUT not in CONCERT key..it show different keys signature when they should all be the same. How do I figure out the key, gets the parts to play correctly. attached is the down load file
(can't figure out how to do that)

Two ideas:
1) If you have Absolute Pitch, click the Playback button, and listen.
What you hear, is the Concert Key.
2) Key Signature Tool.
Double-click in the score.
In the dialog box {Key Signature} the displayed key signature is the Concert Key.
Any staff that displays another key signature than the Concert Key, has a Staff Transposition (meaning that it plays back in Concert Key, but displays Transposed Key.
