I am working on a brass band score, and all cues from a treble clef trombone part to an alto horn part are being notated up an octave with an 8ba notation, which is much harder to read. If I cue the same notes from a bass clef trombone part, they are noted without unnecessary octave adjustments. Is there a way to make this the default behavior for a treble clef trombone cue? I have attached a sample file showing the issue.
Thanks!

Sorry, I know I can change the octave shift property. I just don’t want to do it every time. I don’t understand why it does not default to the correct octave like the bass clef trombone does.
And thank you for being welcoming on my first post.
I think the point here is that treble clef trombone is an octave-transposing instrument, and Dorico builds that transposition into the cue, just as it does for instruments like piccolo and double bass. Maybe this happens for any instrument whose transposition is defined as 12 half steps or greater?
There is an Engraving Option to get Dorico not to display the “8ba”, but that still leaves the cue pitches notate the same way.
You can do it just once at the end. Select that part and filter for cues… then change the property for them all.
That makes sense, I guess. I was just hoping for a way to fix this by default. Thank you!
