Somehow, I inadvertently transposed the Quad Toms staff I created. I had notes in the middle of the stave that now have many ledger lines below the stave. The "Transpose" tool is not available. "Transpose Percussion Notes" does not appear to do the job. I really do not want to delete and re-add my work. What options are there?

Without seeing the file, it's hard to say. Retranscribe might work, but the only way I would know is if I could see the file.

In the Score Manager, when looking at the chosen Layout for the Quads, it appears you changed the Layout from Tenorline to Concert Toms/Tenor Drum. Change it back to Tenorline.
