OK, humor me and try these steps. It may be a Mac thing, but let's first try this:

Following my recommendation to always work first in concert pitch,

1. Create a new song
2. Change the key signature to D using the box to the left of the tempo, and the left-hand column (Transpose and Set Key Signature)
3. Enter the chords D B F#
4. Go to the key signature box and use the far right area, to the right of the displayed key of D, to select +14 for tenor sax
5. I then see E C# G# and the key remains D, which is the correct concert pitch key, with the visual aid that the +14 visual transposition is in effect. Of course, to a tenor sax player, you would have to realize you are playing in the key of E, but the screen doesn't show it. Think concert pitch...

What chords do you see?

Can't be done? Really? If you don't see what I see, then I think we can conclude it's either a limitation in the Mac version, or an improvement made in version 2022.
