The sound is 1 octave to high

[Sherry C]

Hi KiK,

You might first want to check and see if there is an Instrument Transposition on the file (eg. for guitar). To check this, click the Staff menu heading, and look at the bottom of the listing to see if the view is for Instrument Transposed Pitches or Concert Pitch. If it's for the Instruments, try clicking the Concert Pitch button to see if the notation and pitches now agree.

The difference may also be in convention - in some locations middle C is determined as C4, in others it's C5. We chose middle C as C5.

If the above is just so much hot air, then you'll need to make the change manually. To transpose the actual pitches while maintaining the notation as it is will actually require (1) moving the note pitches and then (2) Transposing the Instrument key.

1. Select the staff using the Staff Select button (blue arrow button in the Staff Control buttons)
2. Then use Region/Convert region to a selection of notes.
3. Hold the P key (for "pitch") down and then press the Page Down key on your keyboard (this is the keyboard shortcut - there is a button on the Notes palette that will do this too.) This moves all the note pitches down an octave.
4. Now use Staff/Transpose Instrument Key.
5. Select the staff you want to transpose, and then (a) click the "Below minus" and change it to "Above plus" and (b) click the "O octaves" and select "1 octave."
6. Click Ok to finalize the changes.

ttfn,

Hi Sherry, it works...
Thank you very much for your aide in getting the right piches on the notes corresponding from the score to the piano.
I began to become despaired. An A 440hz sounded like an A 880 Hz
Such as you've said in your first subparagraph of your answer, I have changed the 'Instrument' pitch into 'Concert' Pitch. Than I have transposed all notes 12 semitones down. At last it works and it was that simple, Jesus...!
I am very happy that this problem has been solved and I am very grateful to you.
Kind regards.
