Changing chord symbols for a transposed tenor sax part changes the chord symbols for the piece - cannot separate them
I changed the chord symbols for a transposed tenor sax part, When I did that, the chord symbols for the piece also changed. I cannot find a way to separate them. In other words, have the tenor sax written in B but leave the rest of the piece in concert A. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your "Chords" instrument has the properties of a concert-pitch instrument in C but you have given it a different key signature to the others. It doesn't know that is meant to be a Bb sax.

How do I tell it to be a Bb sax?

You choose a Bb sax as the instrument. MuseScore will transcribe the key signature.

The part does not show up under the instruments panel.It seems to be tied in some way to the chords part. I have closed and re-opened the parts windows a number of times and the tenor sax chord part comes up but it is not available as a separate instrument. Anyway to force it to become a separate instrument? Thanks.

Here is a start on how to fix this. Good luck.
I fixed the notes and key changes in the score. It is a two step process. First transpose the chords part down a major 2nd. Then change the key signature. After the key change later, the parts need to be fixed for all the enharmonic spellings. I did the first measure. Select the part from the key change to the end. Press the up arrow, then the down arrow. There's a couple wrong notes in the chords part. Though the chords seem to be correct. I attach two files. One is the mostly corrected score. You'll notice no sax part in the parts window. The second is the sax part. Add a sax part to the score and C+P it into the score. I have no idea what will happen to the score when you do this. All part of the fun.
