Actually, the most pathological case is when there is all of the above *plus* clef changes for the cue. You have to create a separate staff style to hide the clef change, and this creates a whole new set of challenges. The easiest staff style is a transposition that does nothing but set the clef.
wouldn't it be easier to coordinate by setting up the clef staff style for the parts already with transpositions? C treble, C bass, C alto, Bb treble, Bb bass, same for F... etc. as needed. with the 1st 7 styles you would solve the majority of the cases and don't have to deal with double-transpositions. you also don't really have to think about it, apply the combined transposition/clef style you want it to show as.
and since the cues don't show in the score, you could do this directly in the score (with display in C off) before applying the hide cue style for the score. then in parts, turn on colours, show staff styles and names, and do the old switcheroo (the oldest trick in the book, 86) to the appropriate measures with the show-cue/hide layer 1 full measure rest.
But such staff styles are required to be assigned to full measures, and if the instrument is transposing you have to have a special transposing staff style with the force clef. It can lead to some serious outside-the-shipping-carton thinking.
you can erase staff styles from partial measures, although this only works in around 98% of the cases i have tried it in, can't figure out why in the other 2% it doesn't work.
