Does anyone have a transposed part or know where I could obtain one?

Obviously, I don’t know your age, your experience, or what level your playing might be. However, that being said, if you intend to continue playing the bass clarinet in an orchestral setting then you will need to learn bass clef. Other than writing an entire part out, your time would be better spent acquainting yourself with the tools that are necessary to be an accomplished bass clarinetist - and reading a part in bass clef should be first on the list as this will hardly be the last time you will be faced with this “problem”.

I've also been working on a transposition of Vida Breve but have only done up to rehearsal number 33. I'll be happy to send you what I have but it has not been proofread or play-tested

Musica,

Liberson's advice is outstanding. He says it all! Right to the point and spot on.

Hank

I agree with the advice to learn bass clef. Even if a transposed treble clef part is available, not all orchestra librarians will know to acquire it.

The previous time this part was discussed, I asked the following, which was not answered.

This is one of those (annoying) parts that jumps between treble and bass clefs. How is it to be played? A written C3 in bass clef is played up an octave as C4. But what about a C5 in treble clef? Is it played as C5, or as C6?

In this piece the treble clef parts are played an octave higher than written.
