Alto Sax sheet pdf was imported and considered as voice
I´m beginning to work with Musescore now. I´m trying to import a sheet that is originally for Alto Sax, so then I can add a Tenor Sax and a Trombone. When I import to Musescore 4.4.4 it reads as voice. If I change the instrument to Alto Sax, then it also changes the key of the song and the notes. How can I make the program recognise the instrument as Alto Sax without having it transposing to another key? I tried to use the "concert pitch" function, but then I need to add other instruments, so it´s not going to work.

Import from what, PDF?
Anyway, just change that voice to alto sax, via staff properties
Assign the alto saxophone to the line - again.
Change the key back so that it is identical to the original key. It is a transposing instrument, so you must choose a different key.
Then select all notes (Ctrl + A) and move them back using the arrow keys so that they have the same pitch as in the template.
Don't use concert pitch.
