actually, the composer usually scribbles all the music in score at pitch and leaves part copying (with appropraite transpositions) to a specialist
who has a good hand for the job (these days a computer).  It is a rare
composer who can get away with putting his own scribble on the stand of a
union musician.

If I look at (handwritten) the beginning of Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana", he wrote it out with transpositions. Perhaps it varies.
