It is the tradition for horns to write the parts transposed but
without key signature.
It is common these days to write key signatures for the horns and IMO
this should be done even if transcribing an earlier work.

(Scores I
have here are consistent with that.) But I'm not a horn player, so
I'm sure
someone might have a more complete answer.

I'm researching an edition of a Mozart Mass from 1843 that includes
an added horn part (i.e., the original had no horns). The score has
it listed as "Corni in F" and the key of the piece is in F, but the
key signature for the horns is the same as for the non-transposing
instruments.
There aren't any Bbs anywhere in the piece, so it doesn't matter, but
to me, this is the wrong key signature, since it's notated
transposing so that a C sounds F.
Is this something that was common?
