How to get two different enharmonic spellings for a transposing instrument
I'm making a scale sheet to print out for myself for a Tenor Sax in Bb. I find it easier to read in B as opposed to Cb, and I find it easier to read in Gb as opposed to F#. However, if I tell the system to prefer sharps or flats, I can't have both on the same system on the same part. How do I fix this?

As far as I know this is not possible for a single instrument.
I don't know what your score is like. My idea is to create a second staff for the Tenor Sax, write the notes with preffered sharps in one line and those with preferred flats on the other one.
If you set system breaks where you want to change the signature and acitvate the option "hide empty staves within system" in Format/Style/Score,you might be able to achieve what you want.
See the pics.

Two Tenor Sax staves, one with preffered sharps, the second with preffered flats for the same sequence:
After hiding empty staves it looks like this:
