Thanks for the explanation Don, I finally understand this now.  I think
this means that the only way to keep a B-natural in a concert pitch
parent score, and a C-sharp in a scor2prt transposed Bb trumpet score,
would be something like this:

% nv,noinst,mtrnuml,mtrdenl,mtrnmp,mtrdnp,xmtrnum0,isig,
   1    1      4       4       4       4     0      -1
% npages,nsyst,musicsize,fracindent
   1       1       20       0

t
./
%1Ar K+1+1
%%
b2 bn | bs0 /
%1 b2 bs | bss0 /
