Hello,

I have here something about transposing instruments.
Please let me know if I made some mistakes.
This list will help to work more quickly in instrument
view (Ctrl+I).If one instrument sounds "-" you should use "+" value and
otherway round for instruments which sonds "+".

Hmmmm... I think that is wrong what I said about the values in contra direction. If Piccolo sounds one octave higher than written you should set +12 semitones in Instrument view, exactly how is written in this overview table. In other cases where other intervals are in questions, for example the major second by trompet and clarinet you set -2 but after transposing this stave +2 with respectable new key signature and only for this stave.
