Actually, though your link is very useful if you only want SOME parts not to have key signatures, it is more complicated than you need if NO part in the score has a key signature.
This is what you should do. Set the global key to C in your score (it probably already is, no sharps no flats). For a sax part, like alto sax, click the staff with the Staff Tool, hit Return to open up the Staff Attributes, and click on Transposition. You are probably set to Key Signature. Underneath that, select the Chromatic box. This makes the part transpose properly without changing the key from concert pitch. In 2010 up, it also transposes the chords correctly, but in previous versions it doesn't (you have to use Utilities...Change... to do that.) Done. Repeat for other transposing staves. Now, there are a few caveats. Darcy can probably quote exact things to watch out for, but sometimes there are issues with accidentals not appearing correctly (like a concert E nat might not always get its sharp when alto sax needs it to be C#, sometimes related to flipping enharmonics with the 9 key in Speedy) but if you just check it over, it should be fine. Christopher BTW, I came across a book of John Coltrane patterns for saxophone by a fellow with the same name as you. Is that you? It was very good! If it is, congratulations!
