Especially as a trombonist (so my music is a mix of concert and Bb) I *always* have all my music variables in concert pitch. If I need to transpose anything, I transpose at the score level - well away from my music. It's just not worth the confusion when trying to keep track of what's where. For example, I'm currently taking choral parts and arranging for brass - I really don't have to want to worry about whether the notes are the original choir parts or transposed for some instrument or another.
