I have, but the entire concept of instrument transposition is sort of
confusing to me in the first place, as a singer and pianist.
So something like "Sing this a whole note lower than written" would be
impossible for you? You have absolute pitch?
I don't know about Daniel, but this can be an issue for singers.
I don't have absolute pitch, but I do know where certain pitches lie
in my voice. This definitely causes me trouble when sightreading a piece
written in a different key to the one being played. I remember also
singing the bass line to carols, which I've sung every year (several
times) for around 50 years, when the only accompaniment was a
Bb trumpet playing from scores in C. I had great difficulty pitching
the notes because they were not where I had always sung them.
