I just picked that number at random-- although I think I've seen instruments in period instrument recordings use A at that pitch. I was more curious about the process and thought it would be an interesting (for me) exercise.
As to those who've suggested transposition in Finale, that's fine as long as there aren't already transposing instruments in the score. C scores are not common in early music (nor should they be), so that's very possibly an issue with the scores he's dealing with.
