In Staff I guess that there is a way, to change the the Sharps to Flats, in a Cloned track that is muted. That way your not changing the sound of the music, but using that track just to read the note's in a transposed to Eb Sax, to read the staff in that view to play the melody.   Q is how do i change the Sharps to Flats in one track after transposing for Eb Sax? Thank you    

Tenca, your question exposes the limitations of Sonars staff view. Enharmonic equivalents are not easy to set.
The only way I know of is to right click on a staff view note, and actually type in the enharmonic equivalent in Note Properties. Unfortunately, you can only do this one note at a time, so it's tedious work to do it for a whole track.
 
To get Flats you would have to change the project key signature to a "Flat" key, but then they wouldn't really "display"
 
It would be most ideal to use the "Process - Find / Change" feature FOR EXAMPLE: to find all the D#'s . . . and simply replace them with Eb's . . . but that doesn't work, and you can't type it in Event Inspector either. Sonar staff view note display is tied to the project key signature. Only a proper notation based software will get what you're asking for.

Hi Tenca/noynekker-
 
Unless something's changed since I last did this, you can set enharmonic equivalents like this:
 
Using the D# to Eb example-
 
1. Select the MIDI track(s) you want to process. No need to select individual notes.
2. Bring up the Process - Find/Change window.
3. Clear all the check boxes (The button is "None", IIRC)
4. Enter "D#?" in the Search For box and click OK.
5. Enter "Eb?" in the Replace With or whatever-it's-called box and click OK.

The "?" is so all octaves are covered in the search/replace. If you want only a specific octave, you can enter that by number instead.
 
I can't run SONAR right now, so the window/button names might not be exact, but this has always worked for me.

EDIT:  OOPS!  Looks like Susan beat me to it. 
 
Tenca,
  Suggest you read through the page in the Sonar help file section:  Notation and lyrics > Basic music editing > Using enharmonic spellings.
 
As has been already mentioned in a previous post, all staves in the Sonar Staff view share the same key signature.  However, enharmonic spellings can be globally changed on a track for single note spellings (Ex:  change all D#'s to Eb).
 
I tested the following procedure using the "Manchester Update 1 (21.12.00.36)" release of Sonar Platinum.
 
  1. Select the track that contains the notes that require enharmonic spelling changes.
  2. Run the Process > Find/Change... menu option.
  3. Click the None button to clear the Event Filter - Search dialog.
  4. Click the Note checkbox and enter the note spelling you want to change followed by a question mark ("?") wild card in the Min and Max edit boxes.  [Example:  D# ?]
  5. Click OK.
  6. Enter the new enharmonic spelling [Example: Eb ?] in Min and Max edit boxes of the Event Filter - Replace dialog.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Repeat steps 1 to 7 for any additional note spelling changes.
 
Result:  All notes in all octaves with a D# spelling change to Eb on the selected track.
 
 
Hope this helps,

SquireBum and Susan . . . Thank you for this ! . . . I've tried this many times, but never got it to work, your detailed instructions made me realize the step I was missing . . . I was trying FOR EXAMPLE: Find D#5? . . . Replace with Eb5? . . . but you really need to enter it as Find D#? . . . Replace with Eb?.
 
Thank you so much, I'll use this a lot., now that I know it's possible, and for the OP, Tenca, I think this is the solution you are looking for.

Hi noynekker-
 
You're more than welcome! Hope Tenca checks back and sees this as well.

I don't use Staff view much these days, but I vaguely recall that the presentation of enharmonics follows the pattern of the key signature set at that point. So use Project - Insert Meter/Key Change on the track in question before the notes you are interested in and choose a key that has the notes the way you want to see them. I don't think Sonar cares whether the track is muted or not.

The Question mark solved the question !!
