Instrumental Quartet Octave Incorrect
I'm making a saxophone quartet of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and while listening to the finished product, the saxophone octave sounds are all messed up. The notation for the instruments is correct and range is correct but I have red and yellow notes all over the place. please help, check the image.

Basically it's because you overrode the automatic transposition that happens when you simply enter instruments and let MuseScore worry about transposing the song.
Create a new score from scratch, add the saxes and don't touch the concert pitch button and you will see the key signatures are properly adjusted. One thing to keep in mind, in the new score wizard you need to enter the concert pitch of the song, which looks like it should be Bb. You will see the Eb instruments are in G as expected and Bb instruments are in C as expected.
You can then copy the notes to the new score and make a few small adjustments to make the notes, mostly accidentals, correct.
