I'm currently investigating how to properly write transposing instruments. 
Since their voices are also used in cue notes, the best way is to write them 
in concert pitch (so the cue notes are automatically correct), and use 
\transpose from to ... only for the staff contents.

However, the problem I now have is that if the music of the transposing 
instrument contains cue notes, they are not correctly transposed, so they 
look quite off.

In the attached example, there should only be c'1 notes. However, the cue 
notes in the transposed instrument rather looks like an f'1!

How can I make cue notes inside staves for transposed instruments look 
correctly? Using \transposedCueDuring is not an option, since that messes up 
the music, when I try to generate the score in concert pitch.

Thanks,
Reinhold
