transposition loses courtesy accientals permanently
Regarding this issue in the tracker:
http://musescore.org/en/node/3587
There is still a pretty serious bug remaining in transposition. Created a part for Bb trumpet, and use a key signature of Bb. Turn off concert pitch so it displays in C. Now create a line that includes a G and give that G a courtesy accidental (pretend it had been G# in the previous bar). Toggle "concert pitch" on and off and watch your courtesy accidental vanish. Not so impressive with just one, but I just lost quite a lot of work going through a score painstakingly adding courtesy accidentals only to see them disappear after toggling concert pitch. on and then off again.

Just noticed there is a separate issue for this:

I agree with the assessment of this as "critical'. It really should have been fixed for 1.0!

Same thing happens if you change instruments on a staff. Luckily I made a snapshot copy of my score before trying this! There was also at least one gratuitous respelling of a pitch (an F double sharp respelled as G). I realize the implementation of accidentals is changing for 2.0, and maybe this is already fixed there (hmmm...) but this is probably #1 on my short list of things I think should be addressed in a 1.1 bug fix release. "Silently causes loss of data" was always the single worst category of bug when I worked in software.
