Please look at the attached. I can't get the KS to show in the lower four staves. It came in from a scan.I have checked the original in SmartScore, and the KSs are there. They all show that the KS should appear in both the staff properties and measure properties. I have exported and reimported, with no change. Checking the KS with Edit Key Signature, they show as the correct Bb.

I'm stumped.

Thanks, Peter. I never knew to look there, even though it's obvious.


Why does Finale put things in so many places...?
