Hi,

I'm making a scale sheet as an exercise for students. I can't get rid of the key-change notations at the end of each line without removing the key change altogether. Is there any way to fix this? I'm attaching a photo of the issue.

Thank you!

You can hide each 'cautionary' key change by clicking on it, then Ctrl Shift H (in Windows), which greys it out (for non-printing).
(Make sure you have a line break at the end of each line to avoid the next line wrapping back up to the line before.)
Then select the bar before the hidden key change and press Reset Note Spacing from the Appearance menu to tidy up the end of the line.

A much more efficient workflow is to use More Options from the bottom of the KS dialog. You can set this up to automatically respoond to the normal keypress (k) instead of the unhelpful default using File-->Preferences-->keyboad shortcuts. Then, when you insert a change, you can tick the Hide box, which will hide the warning.
