The new accidental code seems to be working nicely.  I haven't done much with 
the improved transpose yet.  I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, or what 
I should be looking to test.

I'm wondering about a real-world situation, and the best strategy for handling 
it.  It might even suggest a feature enhancement.

I have a -2 part I want to port to a -9 instrument as effortlessly as 
possible.  I wonder if we have a clean, convenient way to do this now, 
putting together various of our recent improvements, and if so, how should I 
do it, step by step?

The part is in a -2 segment with a key of Bb.  It needs to go to -9 with a key 
of F.

I guess this is concert Ab, so if I change the segment from -2 to -9, then 
double click the Bb key signature, put in an Ab, and pick my new transpose 
options to move it relative to segment transposition, then the math should 
come out right, and it should wind up at F.  I think.

But in this situation, I don't "know" what the concert key is without doing 
some mental math.  The whole piece is full of transposed segments, and I 
arranged the whole thing from a mental "home base" of -2 instead of concert 
pitch.  That adds a layer of confusion to the process.

Just thinking out loud about this more than anything else.  I already managed 
to get it there, but I feel like I should have been able to do it a lot more 
easily.  Maybe remembering the concert key, as in the example above, was the 
key I missed to performing this action in a simple, direct manner.
