While copy/paste, insert stacks, change key sigs, etc., I have a bunch of Bb showing as Bbb. Isn't there simple way to change all of them at once?

JW Change Pitches?

I assume you're aware that Bbb is actually A natural, so that may be the direction you want to go (?)

That's the one!

Yes, I know. I need a Bb, not an A natch.

thanks!!

The Note Mover Tool can also do it.

Maybe just a Respell or Rebar?

I'm curious why copy/pasting, or other operations, change the pitch of a note? That is much more worrisome to me. All pitches should be maintained, or at least intervals should be help to the same relationships. Maybe I missed something in the discussion.

Zuill,

I don't know how (or where in the process) it happened, but I'm willing to take the blame. I have a medley that changes key a number of times, and I had it pretty well set up. Then, the director wanted to add another song in the middle. I inserted blank measures, and pasted in the new section. But that changed the key of a later section, I think, so I had to change that key. I suspect that when I chose "to the next key change" that this is where things went south. I've had that happen in the past.

Anyway, JW Change Pitch did it in a snap.
