Band-in-a-Box transpose for Saxophone
(Version  2006)
Tenor sax players and other Bb instruments should set Concert Pitch Adjust to -2
If the notes are too low for tenor sax use +14.
If the notes are too high, you can drop an octave by using (-10).

Alto Sax and other Eb instruments should set Concert Pitch adjust
Select PREFERENCES (ctrl E), TRANSPOSE (shift up T) or ARRANGE  (shift up A).

The usual Transpose Options can be found in the top bar EDIT, TRANSPOSE. from- to, transpose down one semitone (ctrl alt 5)
transpose up one semitone (ctrl alt 6)

The quick option from concert pitch Band in a Box score
to Tenor sax press CONTROL  ALT SIX twice,
or Alto sax press CONTROL ALT SIX nine times. Or press CONTROL ALT FIVE  three times



Concert Pitch Adjust is occasionally useful for non-concert instruments such as Saxophone or Trumpet.  The output is transposed so that you see the music in one key while it plays in another.
