Lewy,
Below I've pasted in my template I use for a horn section that includes 
2 trumpets, 3 saxes and 2 'bones. It creates a full score and the 
individual parts. Another user, Bill, says this template was just what 
he was looking for just the other day. Look for the thread titled 
"transposing, etc" in the mailing list archives to see the entire 
message. Load it up and take a look at it, I think you will find it will 
do pretty much what you need.
Regards,
Chip
