it is notated indeed transposed and that is part of the issue, but
not from the traditional standpoint. i can choose to transpose the
keyboard up or down, meaning a G3/4# in the score appears in the part
as:
1) A when the electronic keyboard is tuned down a quarter tone
2) G# when the electronic keyboard is tuned up a quarter tone
both are "right" (both the same interval of transposition, but in a
different direction) but in (1) the advantage is that the electronic
instrument is tuned down, as is the quarter tone vib used in the same
piece, whereas in (2) the advantage is that pitch names ("G" here)
remains the same throughout the score.
it only matters for practicality which direction we use, but i need
to decide before continuing doing the keyboard part.
