I can see no reason why anyone would want to hear the wrong concert pitch when entering notes in Simple note entry. It just doesn't make sense. If I'm entering a third-space C in a transposed tenor sax staff, I want to hear concert Bb below middle C, and there's no way I'm gonna learn to "like" hearing a pitch a full major ninth higher than the one it's supposed to be. I just finished working on some arrangements for Bb trumpet, trombone, Bb tenor sax and Eb baritone sax. As I entered notes, filling in chord tone underneath the trumpet part, I only heard the right notes in the trombone staff. All the rest were off: the trumpet by a step, the tenor sax by a major ninth, and the bari by an octave and a sixth! Please understand that this doesn't keep me from getting the work done; it's just annoying to hear the wrong notes entered. Why even hear them at all, if they're the wrong notes?
