Hi all,

A friend transposed a piece a while ago for alto sax in Gb major (transposed) and I want to change it to tenor sax.
I put it through photoscore, that was no problem.
The piece when put into sibelius is of course in A major concert pitch, but when I hit transposing score it goes into F# major instead o Gb major. I have done loads of research on ways to change this and nothing is working. Does anyone have any ideas on how to enharmonically change the transposed alto sax part into Gb major from F# major?

Another thing is I cant just leave it as is and put it into another file for tenor because from photoscore all the accidentals are for Gb major so it sounds absolutely horrendous with the F# major key signature, and that follows through into the tenor part.

Thanks for your help

Create a new saxophone instrument in a#. (Instead of Bb). This should sort the key change.
