Matching Saxophone Notes With Playback (Finale)

I am trying to compose a few saxophone solos on Finale 2008 and I am having a difficult time because when I put the notes in I hear certain pitches, but when I have the computer play it back for me the pitches change.  I think this is because saxophone is an E flat instrument and it might be playing it back to me in concert pitch.  Is there a way I can match up the pitches so that I can hear it, hum it, and keep composing?

Thank you!

Hi J.P.,

From the user manual:

Choose Document > Display score in concert pitch. If this option is selected, all music appears in its untransposed form (concert pitch) and a checkmark appears next to the menu item. When this option isn’t selected, any staff you’ve defined as a transposing staff will appear in its transposed form, just as it will when the part is extracted.

Marius, thank you so much! I will try that out.
