Windows 7, GIT commit: 2bf563b

1) new score for flute and Bb clarinet, key of "C"
2) enter a "C" into the flute part
3) turn concert pitch *on*
4) copy and paste the measure containing the "C" into the clarinet part
5) verify pitch displays and plays back as "C" - the correct result
6) turn concert pitch back *off*

Expected result: clarinet displays "D"
Actual result: clarinet displays "C" (with an explicit natural sign because of the key signature)

Playback is still correct.

I discovered this attempting to recreate the steps that led to the score in #25570: notes displayed differently than played, which appears to my eyes to have its tpc & tpc2 values out of whack (not that I fully understand how they are supposed to work). Maybe copy and paste is how that happened, maybe not, but it's definitely a problem.

I marked this critical since it is a form of data corruption, and it's especially insidious because you don't discover the problem until you turn concert pitch off.

The bug is fixed when following the original steps, however, copy and paste in the other direction - from clarinet to flute - is still not right.

1) new score for flute & clarinet, C major
2) turn concert pitch *on*
3) enter C into clarinet part
4) copy & paste measure into flute part
5) turn concert pitch *off*

Result: note displays as D in flute part (still sounding as C)
Expected result: note displays and sounds as C, since flute is not a transposing instrument
