In an orchestral score in A key I want to write the HORN parts (sounding a perfect 5th lower.
I don't want to show the key for the HORNS, as if they were playing on C, but I don't know what I can do to make appear every accidental in a quick way, without needing to write every single one.
I appreciate your answers.

1. With the Key Signature Tool, set the key signature to A major (3 sharps).
Switch to Staff Tool, and double-click the french horn staff.
2. In the Staff Attributes, click Transposition, and choose Chromatic Transposition instead of Key Signature Transposition.
In the Chromatic pop up menu, choose "(F) Up P5". Click OK.
3. In the Staff Attributes, select the option "Ignore Key Signatures".
This setup works correctly with both layout and playback, also when you select "Display in Concert Pitch".
There is one drawback, however:
If you copy music between the french horn staff and the other staves, the music will be transposed a minor third or a major sixth.
So you will have to, as an additional step, transpose the music with the Mass Edit Tool.
You wil also have to transpose the french horn staff separately if you decide to have the score in another key.

I have no problems with the Playback, but my problems are seeing the score.
As the key is A, how can I make appear every accidentals (F,C,G) beside the notes?
I mean , how can I make every accidental on the score instead of appearing on the key?

I'm afraid I don't understand.
I tried the solution I sketched in my previous posting, and it makes every accidental appear on the score instead of appearing on the key signature.
Isn't that what you need?

Try this
Highlight what you need to show with accidentals with mass mover
Go to plugins>note, beam and rest editing> cautionary accidentals.
You will have several choices to make here but i think you will find your solution.
