Yeah, it's just weird that if you choose a concert key of Cb (which
IS perfectly standard; no double flats or anything. I remember
practicing études in that key) then it gets changed ONLY on the
octave transposing instruments like guit and bass by default.

"Simplify Key" is designed to avoid unwieldy, nonstandard keys

what you want. If a piece is in F# major, the clarinets should be
written in Ab -- not G#!

Hold on, I just thought of something. Of COURSE guit and bass
staves are transposing instruments! In the Staff Attirbutes,
click Transposition, and UNcheck Simplify Key! I'm 99% sure
that's it.
Argh. Yes, that was it. Who put that in there, and why? What a
pain!
