Stephen,
You can set up staff styles that force the instruments to transpose
the other way for just these passages. For trumpets or soprano saxes,
create the new staff style and select "Transposition". Set Interval
to 2 (notes are written two steps higher on the stave than the
sounding pitch) and Key Alter to -10 (add ten flats: from E major
this will get you to Gb major).
For a tenor sax, the interval should be 9 and the Key Alter will
still be -10.
Best wishes,
Michael

I'm copying a horn chart for an arranger that has sections that are
in the key of E. The arranger wants the transposed trumpets and
saxes to be in Gb instead of F#, and I can't find a way to force
Finale to display it that way. "Simplify Key" under "Staff
Attributes / Transposition" doesn't have any effect. Any suggestions?
I'm using Fin08, both Windows and Mac.
Thanks!
