Maybe I don't understand the question. If you want to transpose the piece so the Bb becomes a C, you will have to move all the chords and all the notes up two half steps. What do you mean "is still included in the music"?

I have tried to transpose in different keys but when transposed the Bb is still in the music.

What key is the music in? Jim's right. Just move it up a whole step. Or slap a Low G on your uke and play it the way it's written.

If you move everything up to C, you should be good (assuming that in the original key the lowest note is Bb below middle C, as pictured, so when transposed the lowest note would be middle C).
Hope that helps - I'm not sure any of us are understanding what you are asking, though.

yeah, so if you transpose the part shown, you would have:
D - C - E - D
and as the others said, your lowest note would be middle C so you could play it with a high G

Is your question about the use of software, or about music theory? If it's the software, please tell us what you are using and maybe someone can help. I'm a Luddite who uses pencil and paper, so that someone won't be me!
The lyrics in this image do not match the one above, so now I'm really confused by what you are asking. The lowest note shown in this image is A below middle C, so perhaps instead of going up, you went the other way?

I am using guitar pro. The first image was in original key of Bb second was transposed to C. I have just transposed it to F and now lowest notes is middle C . Thanks everybody for your input.
After you transpose, make sure you change the key signature on the "Bar" menu.
Also make sure you transpose "all bars" not the default.
