Description
Your idea
I want to be able to engrave a Bb Tuba part in bass clef one octave higher. This is the most common way how music for Tuba is engraved in Harmonie and Fanfare orchestras in The Netherlands and in Belgium.
So I propose a new instrument: Contrabass Tuba (bass clef, one octave higher) in Bb.
Problem to be solved
The problem is that there is no Contrabass Tuba instrument available that is engraved transposed.
