Transposing not doing anything
I am trying to transpose a score, but it doesn't change anything.
Using 2 different scores of Lady Bird, I tried select all or select a measure, transpose to Cmaj, select to transpose chord symbols and key signature, yet it does nothing.
Here's a score I am trying to transpose to C from D: https://musescore.com/user/149585/scores/253611
Also for the score above, when I select the measure and move the notes down a whole step (A to G for example), at playback the note is playing F not G as shown on the score.
Ideas?

This score is for tenor saxophone which is a transposing instrument - it sounds an octave and a step lower than written. So it's in C already, but it displays as D because the Concert Pitch button is off. Turn the Concert Pitch button to see it in C. To transpose it to a different key, be sure to select the desired concert key. It's concert C now, as mentioned. If you want to to be in C as written for tenor saxophone, that is Bb concert, so that's how you need to transpose it. Or, just press the Concert Pitch button since that displays in C anyhow.

Thank you, that makes sense.
