Hi Forum,

I have a Tenor Sax that I'd like to see in Gb-major instead of F#.

I know it can be done via independent key signature, but is there a more elegant way?

Thanks,
Best

Yes. In the Score Manager, pick "Other" for the Tenor Sax's transposition and set Interval = 9, Key Alter = -10, and check "Simplify Key." This will only affect F#/Gb.
