Hi Robert, I meant turn the chord into a different one by holding it down on the MIDI keyboard and hitting Enter. If you have any notes that have been enharmonically flipped in the original chord, then the spelling can act weird in the new chord. Obviously, this will show better if there ARE altered notes in the new chord. It happens regardless if the staff is transposing or not. Chromatic transposition brings a whole new level of crazy in as well, but the problems I outline happen on concert staves. If you are having trouble getting it to show, try diminished 7th chords, flip a few notes (more than once on the same chord) and then try to enter a different diminished chord by hitting Enter. Are all the spellings correct according to the settings you use?
This may behave differently if Enharmonic Spelling options are set to Use Spelling Tables or Use Default Spelling. I haven't really explored it, because I consider the 9 key to be broken now. I only need to be bitten once to dismiss the whole thing. I don't want to have to keep going back and verifying spellings in my pieces because one (or more!) may have flipped when I wasn't looking.
