Rebecca,

I was thinking about this on the tube tonight. Am I right in thinking
that you'd be spot on for a contra-alto, but an octave out for an alto
(and of course two octaves out for an Eb)?

Yes, lets talk transposition.

I know of several alto clarinetists, alto saxophonists, bari
saxophonists,
and other people who play instruments pitched in the key of Eb that
actually
write out the parts that they transpose from the bass cleff without ever

noticing they are copying the page exactly as it is with the exception
of
the key signature and a few accidentals. Add three sharps and pretend it
is
a treble cleff and you're all ready to go! I know a sax player who wrote
out
a zillion page cello score like this for a musical.

Now if you don't know, you know.
