Transposing bass clef euphonium score to equal treble clef score
I have a bass clef euphonium score for a piece written in the key of F that I wrote in Musescore4 so I could transpose ir for a musician that only reads treble clef. Is there a way in Musescore4 to do this automatically?

First, be sure of the instrument. Is it a concert C Euphonium or a brass band Bb instrument?
Yes, this is possible.
- Write down the euphonium staff exactly as it appears in the bass clef on the template.
- Clarify whether your musician is used to playing a Bb or a C euphonium.
- If it is a Bb instrument, simply change the instrument from euphonium to "euphonium (treble clef)" in 'staff/part properties'. (I think this is true in most cases)
- If it is a C instrument, open your clef palette and drag the treble clef 8va bassa to the euphonium system with the bass clef.
As I use MuS 3.6.2 the menue items may be slightly different in MuS 4.
We suppose it is traditional bass clef / concert key*, then copy the whole thing on MS4, then right click on the staff and choose Staff/Part properties
Now click on replace instrument and pick: Euphonium treble clef (or Baritone Horn treble clef).
*In some countries Bass clef is used with Bb instrument.
I just finished transposing euphonium bass clef to euphonium treble clef in musescore 4, this is the steps I used.
• Create the part in Bass Clef
• select measure 1 (highlighting whole measure)
• Right click mouse
• Select “Staff/Part properties “
• Under “Part properties “ select “Replace Instrument “
• Select the down arrow on the right in “Common” box
• Select “Concert Band and below it “Brass”
• Select “Euphonium (treble clef) in the list on the right
• Click “Ok”
• Then click “Ok” or “Apply”
If the clef is still Bass Clef, select Treble Clef from the Clef menu
This sequence worked for me.

Yes, that works.
Instead of selecting the group "Concert Band / Brass" simply type "Euphonium" in the search window and find all euphonium variants.
Alternatively, instead of selecting "Common", you can select "All Instruments" and search in the "Brass" section.
