Yes, but Finale's Chromatic Transposition is seriously flawed

But in Sibelius you CAN set some instruments separately to Open
Key, like traditional orchestral horn, trumpet and timpani parts,
while leaving the others key-based?
Yes, of course -- just as you can set certain staves to "independent
key signatures" in Finale.
I know (of course!) about the chords, and the Cautionary Accidental
plugin problems, but what else is there? Can you be specific? (This
is not challenging; I just want to know about the problems!)
I was thinking of the 9-flip enharmonic problem in Fin07 and 08. I
haven't done any kind of rigorous testing, but my impression is that
it's worse on staves set to Chromatic Transposition. In fact, I'm not
even sure if I've run into this problem on key-sign based scores.
