Key signatures with transposed instruments
Hello,
I remember in MuseScore 2 a big issue I was very frustrated with was how key signatures in transposed instruments defaulted to ones with a ton of sharps (for example, the key of E major concert on an alto sax would show up as C# major rather than Db major) and there was no way to change this.
However, I just found out about MuseScore 3 and downloaded it. I was wondering if this issue was changed in MuseScore 3, if there was any way to adjust key signatures in transposed instruments to enharmonic counterparts.

The method is the same as it was in version 2. Here is a how to I wrote https://musescore.org/en/node/260491. Let me know if it's not clear.

That worked, thanks so much! Seems kind of needlessly complicated for what should be something simple honestly.
Edit: Well, it worked... until I pressed "Concert Pitch" and then went back to normal view. It reset itself. Is there any way to keep it in flats permanently?

I haven't tried this in version 3 until now. It's broke. I'll enter a bug report. There are other known problems with key signatures. I'm curious if the key signature sticks if you do it in version 2 and import it to 3.

I agree, I've asked for a prefer sharps/flats option for these situations.
