Enharmonic Key signatures
I looked to see if this question had been addressed before... a similar question was posed in the past, but I don't think it was really answered. I am writing a score for Alto saxophone. One of the sections is in concert E major (four sharps). MuseScore transposes my Alto part to C# major (7 sharps). Alto parts in concert E major are usually written (transposed) in D flat, because it is more practical to read 5 flats instead of 7 sharps. I cannot find a way to have my Alto part transposed to Db. I tried creating a "F flat" concert key signature, but it does not transpose to my Alto part.
Any help appreciated. Thanks. Ivan

like #288495: Allow user to select flats or sharps for enharmonic key signatures, #39176: Option to convert transposed instrument key signatures into enharmonic equivalent when number of accidentals exceeds limit, #282071: Changing to enharmonic key signature reverts automatically? If so: wait for MuseScore 3.5 or use a current development build
I guess you didn't find https://musescore.org/en/node/260491 "How to change enharmonic key signatures for transposing instruments" then. Not an answer to a question but a "How to". It comes up as no 2 on a search for "enharmonic" in the "search for help box - always a good starting point.

Thank you both for the posts. I had searched "Enharmonic Key signatures" but nothing showed up. I will try the "How To".
