Key signature issue

• May 14, 2025 - 23:27

I have a saxophone workbook I'd like to work from in Musescore. When the piano key is E major (4 sharps), and the books has the Eb Alto Saxophone part in C# major (7 sharps), but Musescore always turns this into the key of Db major (5 flats).

This makes working from the book much more difficult for a beginner to transcribe.

Is there some way the high black note keys can be overridden by their alternatives?

Right-click on one of the sax measures and choose Stave/Part properties. Down at the bottom where says "Prefer sharps or flats", select Sharps.
