The text at the bottom-left of the screen, the one displaying the key signature the piece is in, always shows up as a major key for me. Does anyone know how to make it show up as a minor key?
Here's an example:
The text circled in red, shows up as "Ab Major," but I want it to show up as "F Minor." Help please?
How to show key signature as a minor key?
No explicit, hateful, or hurtful language. Nothing illegal.
The Major/minor flag is stored as part of each key signature MIDI event inside the file.
You music editing app should have a choice to choose between major or minor when setting a key signature. That said, I know not all apps have this. The "should" there was the important part. It actually seems to be fairly rare.

I use Noteflight, and I choose the minor key, but it shows up as a major key in synthesia :/
I signed up on Noteflight to test. When you export a MIDI file from Noteflight, it looks like it always marks the key signature as major in the MIDI file, even if you selected a minor key in Noteflight.
Possible workarounds:
A. You can export a MusicXML file from Noteflight then open the MusicXML file in Synthesia. The MusicXML export from Noteflight will include the minor key and Synthesia will show the minor key. However, be aware that Synthesia's support for MusicXML is in a beginning stage. From the Syntehsia home page news section:
B. You can export a MIDI file from Noteflight, then use a MIDI file editor to change the key signature to a minor key.
If you are on a Windows operating system, you can use Sekaiju to change the key signature as follows:
