Dear readers,

Here is another question for you all, I thank you for your helpful responses. Does anybody know how to generate parts so that they will appear on individual parts in concert pitch? For instance, when I edit my score and select "display in concert pitch" I would like to generate the parts looking exactly as they appear on the score.

Hopefully this is possible.

Thank you,

Kevin

Create a copy of your score, and in the Score Manager, cancel all the transpositions one by one. The parts will be in concert key.
There are other methods, but this one may be the fastest one.

There's no need to do anything other than choosing Display in Concert pitch while in the part. Then, when you print a warning pops up saying the part will print in concert pitch. You don't need any fancy workaround. Sometimes these things can be done easily, but few users know that.
