itsme, I'm a little confused by something you said above. If a key is detected in the chord pro file, that does overwrite anything else that would be detected. If not, are you saying the detection doesn't work? Or do you have a problem with that behavior? Set starting key lets you change whatever is detected or was set in the file. If you tap the button, you can just tap cancel to not make any changes, so I don't know how you would end up with a bad starting key from that. The original key is shown in the button, so hitting reset resets to that. What else would you expect it do? Being able to set the starting key is important if for some reason the key directive is not found and the detected key is incorrect. Otherwise you would have to exit the program, manually edit the chord pro file, reload MS Pro, swap the old file for the new, as the automatic file change detection does not re-read the key. That key is not the same as the key in the song editor, so if I don't provide that option, there is literally no other way to change it.

As far as the issue you are reporting, I'm confused. If you have C/Am, toggling between sharp or flat shouldn't matter, as neither of those chords is sharp or flat. If you had C#, and you selected flag, I would expect that to be Db, but I wouldn't expect C to change to C# just because you tapped the sharp button. If you are saying you selected C/Am and then tapped sharp or flat and it made no difference to the transposed songs chords, that may be true, as that toggle just flips what chords are allowed as you go left or right - not whether the transposed chords will be sharp or flat. C is neither sharp nor flat but I believe for the purposes of transposing, I treat it like a sharp chord when it comes to picking what other chords will be. That only matters if you are transposing from another key to C though, otherwise I wouldn't change what chords are displayed in a song.
