[@Philski27]

One point I'm a bit confused about is if the music is paying in concert C shouldn't you be transposing on the sax?

[@lyndenblades]

Hi Phil, thanks for this. The app transcribes for alto and tenor sax 🤝🤝🎷🎷😎😎

[@alanhowell3646]

The chord in Session Band is a concert EbMaj7. When you click transpose for Eb instruments it changes the backing to Cmaj7 which is correct for Alto.

[@lyndenblades]

Exactly 👍
