    To transpose sax music to French Horn (just guessing) you take every note down one whole step. A "b" becomes an "a" and a "Bb" becomes an "Ab" etc. One step down. Sometimes Sax music runs too high for the horn to play so you have to drop it an Octave first and then one step down.

    Its a skill to just read the sax music on the fly without writing anything down.

    raise all notes by a half tone . imagine a keyboard . adjacent notes are half tone apart . Ther are 12 keys per octave ;some white some black.

    so to raise any note by half tone use the next higher note on the keyboard . so C becomes C sharp

    or if a key has C sharp the next one up is D. Notice that some notes dont have a sharp (black note version) so for example a B becomes a C because they are together on the keyboard.
