I write the score as it sounds and coded in the pmx-file the transposing commands for the respective voices for scor2prt. I am sure that a real professional will have full contempt this procedure, but in my opinion, there is really no justification any more for making the scores more difficult to read as necessary. It was once probably required to minimize transposing errors from copists. Computers, however, do not make errors in transposing. In my muisc study, we had to play piano excerpts from full-page scores containing transposing instruments, the coro being noted in the classical soprano, alto, tenor and bass clefs, and I think it was difficult enough to overlook 12 or more staves in different clefs. And I do not know what the midi conversion would do with transposing instruments.
