Most wise Professor. This old hornist asks the most relevelant question, does the female voice say "recalculating" after one clams a transposed note with this system that all of the younger "techie geeks" will flock to buy and place on their stands? Won't that infuriate most conductors, even those that are so bad they can't conduct electricity let alone Wagner, Mendelssohn, Brahms et al?
What a great idea, wish I'd thought of it to go along side my Val-Mart brand horn.

I was in a city last spring, arriving by air, but I do not remember, where it was. Nor do I have any idea, what a continent it was. I remember, the regular gangway to the plane was not the same as on my home airport. It did not match the door height of the plane, but it matched for other planes. Very confusing, indeed. Any help is welcome, so I can find out, where I had landed this past spring. Well, stop joking now. If one cannot remember after three four months which piece he or she played, does not speak for the player. Was it an oratory by Mendelssohn ? - Well, not every piece is just a piece ! This is too simple. Mendelssohn & other contemporaries often used two differently pitched pair of horns, - natural horns - . The 2nd pair is pitched higher quite often, mainly in G or A. The 2n pair is for a "fourth" different than the 1st pair (ex.: first pair in E, 2nd pair in A = equally to F/Bb double horn). Why the 2nd pair higher ? The first pair (lower) has to play some "manipulated" pitches, while the 2nd & higher pair nearly avoids "manipulated" pitches & remains for the "open calls". So the 2nd pairs musical text remains quite simple, but delicate on modern double horns. A final question: is it really so difficult, remembering titles of certain music, if the title is written in a foreign language ? Or was it the "overwhelming impression" left by the conductor, which forced one to forget not only the conductors name, but also the title of the music ? >> Now, Hans, you should not be so harsh in your judgements making because if you have forgettings of your travels and have reminders needing then I can only be saying now that soon your transpositions you will be having the forgettings of as well so a new invention you will be needing as well as others which the perfections of I am now having the makings of in my shop and this will solve all of your transpositionings and some other problems as well and I am having the callings of it the TRANSPOSITRONICDIMENTIAOMETER which works something like a GPS but it guides you through the piece on the LCD screen on your stand once you are having your parts in there and if you order it with the optional TONICALSUBDOMINANTALDOMINANTIAL plug in, it even tells you what key the piece is in so then you will be one step ahead of the conductor, as well and it works by a little headphone in your ear and a mostest pleasantest of female voice does speakings like "In 30 measures, switch to E flat - down a whole tone" and "Danger ahead, second movement in H basso, down an augmented 4th" and "You just missed a transposition change!
