In my example (Bb saxophone) the paste transposed by an octave and semitone, not the octave and tone that would have been to concert pitch!

I would agree it is critical so I'd like to get the build you refer to. It isn't listed in the downloads for Windows. Does this mean I have to take my chances with the nightly build? Can someone explain if the nightly build is more risky than other releases such as 0.9.6 pre-release or the same. I've had some bad experiences with unstable releases recently.

rXXXX doesn't refer necessarly to a build but a revision of the source code.
Prereleases and nightlies are not meant for production as explained in [[nodetitle:Comparison of stable, prerelease, and nightly builds]] but by using a nightly you will help next "stable" version to be more stable... As time goes by nightly becomes more stable...
