Hi,
...
NoteEdit can transpose automatically a staff any number of semitones up or down, using the menu option: Tools->Transpose. For instance, to prepare a staff for a clarinet in B flat, you can use the transpose function with two semitones up.
That's what I did, and then I experienced my problem.

Wait a minute. The score that you transcribed using your sequencer software is not the reality, it is only the correctly written representation of the music, following the rules of music notation for the instruments represented in the score. To render this score into real music you need a couple of trained musicians playing their instruments, following the score. If you want NoteEdit to render the score into correctly tuned music, you need to tell the program that some staff corresponds to an instrument that sounds transposed with respect to the written notes. This is accomplished using the dialog "Staff Properties" (menu: Staff->Voices) and changing the value for the "Play transposed" parameter. In the former example where we used two semitones up for a clarinet in B flat, now you need to change the play transposed parameter to -2.
Thanks for pointing this out. You can do this also via the Format/Staff Properties menu. That's what I always use to set the wanted instruments. *But* what I didn't notice until you pointed it out is the possibility to "play transposed". Now I have to find out what values to enter. Unfortunately, I'll have do do this for every score I make :-(. Do you happen to know if the midi-export uses these values also ? Sometimes I want to email a tune, so I use timidity to convert the midi to wav/mp3 (is it possible do do this with fluidsynth ? Didn't find out yet). I'll have to try, export and re-import should prove this.
