Hi Benjamin, In 2010, I believe, staff styles are what you're looking for to handle these sorts of transpositions. There are a number of them pre-defined for various transpositions and instruments in the templates that come with the program. Look up "staff style" in the manual and it's fairly intuitive.
Hope that helps.
