'Instrument Change' works not corretly for transposed instruments
There is an issue when changing the instrument of a staff.
I change from 'voice' to 'Bb trumpet'.
With activated 'concert pitch' the change was done correctly.
If 'concert pitch' is not activated, and i change the instrument, i expect a change of the key, due to the fact that the bb trumpet is a transposing instrument, but nothing happens.
When I later activate the 'concert pitch' the key of staff will be changed.
e.G
originally: Voice; key C
changed with 'concert pitch' (this is correct)
- - after:
- - Bb Trumpet, key C 'concert pitch'
- - resp. Bb Trumpet, key D without 'concert pitch'
changed without 'concert pitch' (here happens the error)
- - after:
- - Bb Trumpet, key C without ' concert pitch'
- - Bb Trumpet, key Bb 'concert pith'

See #15487: Instrument changes does not affect transposition (and crashes on reload). The fact that instrument change does not affect transposition is as designed. Of course, we might sometimes (often) wish it did, so I agree there should be a new feature added at some point to allow this. Since the other issue I linked to is, at this point, more about the crash, I'm changing this one to feature request to leave open even after the crash is fixed.
Actually, such a feature request already exists - #9352: Add ability to set transposition by range
Sorry, but the bug is also described in issue 21744, but still open.
(#21744: Actual notes are changed if transposition properties are changed with Concert Pitch off)
It works in Musescore 1.x.
But now it's not just feature requet, because the System changes the notes. If you use playback the notes sounds 2 half tones higher (for Bb Trumpet) than intended.
