Keys change when I want to edit a certain tune

[Hasso]

Why does the key change when I go from the play mode to the edit mode? It didn´t happen before, is there a bug in the software? Hasso

Probably because your play mode key is set to something other than the "Default" (the original key when the file was created). Check your settings. When in edit mode, the file always shows the default key. Also, this kind of question belongs in the Discussion Forum (under the version you're using: Android, iOS or OSX) rather than in the Songs Forum.

The editor operates in the chart’s "default" key. You can reset the default key of your chart in the editor on the song information screen (title, composer, style, KEY) change the key, select "set AND transpose". Then you can make edits in your key.

For those with transposing instruments:
the key in song edit is in concert key (which is the key it must be saved in when you use global transpose>transposing instrument, Bb, Eb etc.) but as Bob described, use Set and Transpose - a couple of times (input or edit in your transposing key from your transposed instrument's chart, then Set and Transpose back to concert key before saving).
