Kurt, you've stumbled where many others have stumbled. If you want to transpose, you must use relative accidentals. You've gone half way by entering "Ar". To go the rest of the way, you also have to change the way you enter the notes, because "Ar" changes the meanings of "s", "f", and "n". If you want what you would ordinarily read as "B-flat, a B-natural, and a B-sharp" you should enter "bn bs bss", or just "b bs bss" if you don't want a flat to appear explicitly on the first b. When using relative accidentals, "n" means "leave it right where it is according to the key signature" and "s" means "raise it 1/2 step from where it would be according to the key signature", etc.
