Respell pitches

Manually changing the enharmonic spelling of notes

To change the enharmonic spelling of a note, or notes, in both transposed and concert pitch views:

1. Select one or more notes.

2. Press J.

3. Continue pressing J to cycle through the enharmonic equivalents.

To change the enharmonic spelling in the transposed pitch view, without affecting the concert pitch view, or vice versa:

1. Select one or more notes.

2. Press Ctrl+J (Mac: Cmd+J).

3. Continue pressing the same combination of keys to cycle through the enharmonic equivalents.

These features are intended to work with single notes or a selection of multiple notes with the same pitch. If the pitches of selected notes are not all the same, the result may be undesirable.
