I have a score with a transposing instrument. I would like to use a different harmonic spelling of the note in the part versus the score. Eg.the concert pitch score spells a note D# but the clarinet part spells it E#, whereas I want to change the E# to an F-natural WHILE retaining the D# in the score.

I know how to do this in Finale: (I just tried to post a link to the manual but apparently that's not allowed by this forum)

But how do I do this in Sibelius 7.5 on a Mac?

Select the note(s), go to Note Input and click on Respell.

Does that do what you want?

Thank you Andy. But all that does is change the note to the enharmonic in spelling in BOTH the score and parts. I want to only change the spelling in the part, and leave the score as is. Is there not a way?

I can't post an URL so I attach a screenshot of the Finale manual for how it's done there.

In older versions of Sibelius, chances in parts were not always reflected in the score. This has been taken away in later versions.
I have no idea if what you want I possible. But if this is for your own group, open the part, change it, print it, change it back.
Otherwise leave it, I suppose.
