Hi,
If you go to the alternate fingerings for the saxophone, C#5, it says that you can get this note by holding the B, adding the palm D and pressing the octave key. It says that it's a bit sharper... An octave too sharp, actually.. Is it me or shouldn't the octave key be pressed?

I don't see why you'd need finger an alternate C# that way, the open one works well as it is. To trill C#5 with D5 play open C# and then use palm D (without octave). An alternate version of that is to finger a regular D5 and then push the left hand pinky C# key. Those are the two alternates that are the best in tune.
