I am writing a contrabassoon part in a C score. The way I usually handle C
scores is that I label each transposing instrument "sounding as written",
but I do not so label octave transposing instruments. That allows me to not
be fussy about them.

But it puts me in a quandary for correct playback, and I had thought
transposing expression would work. But I am finding (at least sometimes)
they don't transpose. Specifically, I have a bassoon/contra doubling part.
When the contra part starts I put a hidden "T-12" transposing expression in
the score. It was actually working, but then it stopped, and I have no idea
what changed. I certainly did not change anything on purpose.

Does anyone know why a transposing exp. might not transpose? Oddly enough,
my piccolo expressions are transposing. Go figure. The options in the
assignment dialogs for both contra and piccolo exps look the same to me.
