It would be nice to be able to change the clef at the same time as
transposing.

I often forget one or other and it is easier to input data in the original
clef for checking input.

Greetings, Timothy Lanfear and Peter Gentry -

I'm afraid I do not have a solution to your problem(s), but I do have some
input. I'm a violist who plays fiddle tunes and classical music. I also
transpose a lot of fiddle tunes to play on the viola. I agree that it's a
lot easier for me to proofread in the original clef, and I sometimes forget
to change clefs after proofreading. However, I think there would be
problems with doing an automatic clef change with transposition, at least
in classical music. Viola uses both alto and treble clef, and cello uses
bass and tenor. I suspect other instruments use multiple clefs (and
ottava), as well. You would still have to check and change the results of
your transposition, and I, personally, think I have a better chance of
doing that consistently if I have to do it all the time.

Just my 2 cents,

Ralph Palmer
