        I'm composing a piece and I want to do a first and second ending, but I don't want to end it there. I Don't want to do a d.s. al coda but I want it to look right.

        You know that there's a help page, right? It's two buttons to the left of the one you clicked here. It's looks large and intimidating but really it's easy to navigate and strait to the point.

        Can someone tell me how to change the key signature? I just got here and I'm lost already! Thanks!

        Wow, thanks rhall! That worked.
        And then if you want to still have chord symbols, after those three steps you mentioned, you just do the K shortcut key again.
        It's interesting that when the chord symbol is selected (orange), you can move it up or down with arrows, but you can also drag it with the mouse---both up or down, and right or left.

        @econio
        It works for me if I enter the 1. and 2. as Chord Symbols, not as Performance Text.
        1) Select the first measure of the ending.
        2) From the menu, choose, Score > Text > Chord Symbol. Or you can use the K shortcut key.
        3) Then type 1. or 2. The bracket will appear above the number after you move the cursor out of that measure (for example by clicking in a different measure).
        HTH!

        The help information didn't help me: 1. and 2. don't seem to do anything, nor do the double curly braces.

        the first and second ending solutions right now are, IMO,not sufficient for professional work.
