I am so glad this discussion has gone on this long -- all this discussion of mezzo-soprano clef (c on the 2nd line) has given me an epiphany. I've never fully understood the use of the clefs for transposition, but now I have learned that reading an F Horn part (already transposed) as if it had a mezzo-soprano clef will give me the concert pitch without me having to do mental gymnastics.
