Tips and best practices
Preview audio with key changes
Press play in the bottom bar of the Ordo to hear your selection in the new key. Shared Ordos will also play back in the modified key for musicians and collaborators.
Apply key changes consistently
If you’re using a Mass Setting, make sure to apply the same key change across all sections (for example, the Kyrie, Agnus Dei, etc.), as key changes don’t carry over automatically.
Preserve settings across roles
Key change settings apply when creating and customizing resources for different team members. There is no need to reapply them for each version.
