That's how I learned to transpose back in 1967. I was copyist for Rutgers University Wind Ensemble (not much, but it paid my expenses). We were doing the Berlioz Funeral & Triumphal Symphony for winds & chorus. The horns were transposed into umpty jillion keys depending on which crooks were required, and I had to transpose that mess for F horns ... plus I was working with a shiny wet-copy sent from Paris of the nigh-illegible full score with the old-style reverse-eighth-rest quarter rests. Copying in India ink (or whatever that scratch-off ink was) onto transparencies. I never learned to love transposition.
