I do a lot of stuff with horns, so I need C, Bb, Eb, etc versions of tunes. I see how to transpose notes, but how do I get the chords to transpose also?
Thanks!!!!

Paul,
Welcome to the forum.
When you choose Transpose, all it does is change the notes, and does not affect the chords or key signature. (Since I don't really understand transposing instruments,) what I do is add another staff for that instrument. As an example, set up a document for flute and Bb clarinet. The flute will be C, and the clarinet will be D. Enter your notes and chords into the flute staff. Select and drag them to the clarinet staff. Both the notes and chords will be changed.
