I still think that you are confusing things with the issue of
transposing instruments,
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposing_instrument. I'm not an
expert in
brass instruments, but according to that article, trombones read at
concort pitch,
i.e. they are not transposing.
As an amateur trombonist, if that's what that article says, it's wrong
...
Bb Trombones are concert pitch instruments when written in bass or tenor
clef, so you're correct in saying that a tenor clef middle C is exactly
the same note as a bass clef middle C.
But a treble clef middle C is actually Bb a ninth below middle C. This
leads to the interesting result that a treble clef D (ninth above middle
C) looks exactly the same as a tenor clef middle C, and both notes
represent a concert middle C!
So if the OP has correctly entered the music from a tenor clef trombone
part, then it is in concert pitch and all he need do is change the \clef
to bass from tenor.
Cheers,
Wol

good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
