I imported a scanned score in which Photoscore misread a key signature change (E flat major to C). In Sibelius, I corrected the key signature, but that converted all the B notes to B♭, and all the E to E♭. Is there a way to edit all the B♭to B in a staff (likewise for E♭)? Or am I approaching this incorrectly?

Probably better to make the correction in Photoscore, before importing to Sibelius. (often the case!)

Thanks. I was trying to avoid redoing all the other corrections I made before noticing this problem. But best to bite the bullet.

You can use the advanced filter to select specific pitches (eg all B naturals) and then use the keypad.

If you saved the PS 'opt' file, you shouldn't have to. Like sib files, they really take up very little space. You should really do all of the main editing (clefs/bar lengths/time and key sigs/staff names etc) in PS before you transfer to Sib.
