As I said, horses for courses, but I play the trombone, so original source may be Bf or C, and my output parts may be Bf or C. So I find it simpler just to transpose everything to C when copying the music in, then transpose it back to what I want when outputting it.
It depends which part of the process you would like to be error-prone, I guess. I believe any mental transposition that may be required is inherently the weak link in the process and should be eliminated. Therefore I would suggest typing "as written" no matter what that may be, and using the built-in transposing commands to accomplish any changes that may be required. That way, it's less difficult to check the typing for errors. -- David
