Lead sheets in linked parts

If you have a Lead Sheet, or a melody line and chord symbols, for example, that you would like to transpose for several instruments, use linked parts:

Let's say that you have a single staff melody line with chord symbols for a C transposing instrument such as Flute.

1. From the Document menu, choose Manage Parts.
2. Click New Part.
3. In the far right pane in this dialog, Add the melody line staff to this new part.
4. Click Edit Part Name and name the new part. Click OK, OK.
5. View the new part you just created.
6. Select the Staff Tool. Select All (Ctrl-A).
7. Right- click the staff and select one of the available instrument transpositions such as "Clarinet in Bb." See that the notes and chord symbols transpose accordingly. If the transposition you're looking for doesn't appear here, you can define your own Staff Style.
8. Repeat this process for additional parts.
