Matt gave a good explanation on how to do what you want. I made the same mistake with my Bb fake book at first. Wap! (sound of hand heel hitting my forehead). I should have known that from my Aebersole books that have parts for different instruments. I aske myself why the chords in the Bb book would be different from the C book. Then, it was, "Oh yeah, what if you are improvising. Duh!" If I can, I always buy the "C" fakebooks and Bb fakebooks. This is because my wife plays flute and I have to do all of the arranging, printing, etc. stuff. She always wants the melody entered and raised up an octave. I do that and then print her part out. Then I just go to Edit and click Undo Transpose. Let's say it's in the key of F for a C instrument using Matt's example. That would make it the key of G for a Bb instrument. So, I just click transpose to G and then print out my part (making sure that it's down an octave from the flute). Then it's back to Edit to Undo Transpose. Then I save the song which will be in a concert key. The BIAB notation printouts are way better than the fakebooks and even Sibelius, IMHO. Of course I'm an old guy who likes larger and clear print, too.

If there's a fakebook disk available from Bob "Notes" Norton (Google for his website), I always buy it. He has the chords and styles for the various FB tunes already done as BIAB songs. Even though I may want to add an intro and do a little tweaking, Norton's FB disks have saved me a lot of time. Of course, sometimes you can find the midi song you want on the web somewhere to do what you need to do with it in either real band or biab. If you don't have a wife who wants the melody entered, you are good to go.

Hope this helps. I'm sure others with more knowledge than me will chime in if need be. I have learned a lot from the kind and knowledgeable folks on these forums.
