Transposed voices with chords in concert pitch

Is there a way to show chords in concert pitch in transposed voices? Some instrumentalists prefer to read the sheet music in Bb and the chords in concert for soloing. The only workaround I have found is to compensate for the transposition when writing the chords, but this of course messes up the non-transposing parts.

I’d like to see an option for this too, so any staff can automatically show concert changes. Dizzy Gillespie and Joe Henderson are two famous examples that always wanted their parts to be transposed to Bb but show concert changes.

You can do this with local chord symbols, but you’ll have to retype all of them in that part. When you go back to edit, hit Alt-Enter after editing the first chord to make it local, then go through the piece and change all of them that need changing.

(and welcome to the forum!)

Thank you. Thats at least a workaround for now.
