Transposition error

• Apr 13, 2017 - 20:04

While writing a saxophone solo. And I just stress how aggravating this has surmounted. Several select notes, not all, are played in concert pitch and not Eb like the a alto sax as written. For instance, when I write for a non concert pitch (in Eb) D, it plays a Concert D and not a concert F. This is only the case for some notes and this is terribly frustrating because now I've been writing the wrong thing for a few songs. Please help.

I started to write a score for alto sax, turned off concert pitch so the music would tuned to the instrument. A written C is actually an Eb etcetera etcetera. But when I did so, unlike usual, it played different notes from what was supposed to happen. A 'D' Became a 'D' concert not an 'F' concert and it all fell apart weirdly.
