Transpose music for baritone sax

Convert a concert-pitch part into what an E♭ baritone sax player reads, in treble clef.

The baritone sax sounds an octave and a sixth lower

It's in E♭, like the alto sax, but an octave lower: it sounds an octave and a major sixth below what's written. For a concert C, the player reads an A. A piece in C major is written in A major.

From bass clef

The bari part often comes from a tuba, bassoon or double bass line in bass clef. The tool does the full transposition and moves the part to treble clef, the way saxophonists read it.
