Copying Between Transposed Scores
I couldn't find a forum post that covered the exact problem I'm having here:
I have a classical score which I have transposed from Cm into Dm using the transpose tool.
I am copying parts of this score into a brass band template as I make an arrangement.
The brass band score has also had this same transposition done to it previously since I changed my choice of key half way through the arrangement.
For some reason, the note sound is changing between documents. Eg, I copy a concert D over, and it is suddenly sounding as an Eb. Neither instrument is a transposing instrument. As far as I can tell toggling the concert pitch button does not help.
Am I being a dunce? I assumed the transpose tool was for quickly changing the key of the written music, not actually applying a permanent transposition to the instruments.

Which "transpose tool" are you using? Do you mean the menu Tools >Transpose or are you changing it in via Stave/part properties?
Can you post the scores (or segments thereof) that this is happening with?

Is it possible that you are copying/pasting between transposing and non-transposing instruments? This seems unlikely to have engendered the problem you've described, but not impossible.
