D# and G# vs Eb and ,Ab

[Bobsax]

Argh
Thanks bob


Okay , so set key for Alto sax (Eb) in preferences.
when in the key of C it switches to sharps at D#

in edit mode;
I set the key to F (but did not set and transpose) I get an Eb but then G# is next
I set the key to Bb (but did not set and transpose) I get an Eb and a Ab next is a C#
I set the key to Eb (but did not set and transpose) I get an Eb then Ab then Db then F# which is what I want.

So.when playing the alto sax
. If you like to change to sharps at C#, transpose to Bb (or two key changes towards flats) if in D ,go to C etc.
If you like to change to sharps at F#, transpose to Eb (or three key changes towards flats) if in D ,go to F etc

Maybe someday we'll get a simpler way.

Hopefully I won't be back in a year or two having forgotten my own directions

I play Bb trumpet. I don't know how this app is coded but isn't it possible just to disallow D# major 7 and replace it with Eb? I don't think it occurs in any key. I don't think that I've seen G# major7 not sure but if it does occur then perhaps it could be disallowed and default to Ab as well.
