You can do everything you need to with Key Sig transposition by combining with independent key signatures. For example, to set up an Alto Sax part,
1. Set the transposition on the staff to Eb Key Signature transposition. 2. Set Independent Elements Key Signatures. 3. Change the key signature of the Alto Sax staff to the key of Eb. Voila. Now your music has no key signature, yet the part transposes and so do the chord symbols. Finale added Chromatic Transposition as an ease-of-use feature.
