Contrabass (Double Bass) Concert Pitch

Dorico
1

IIRC there is a setting to display Contrabass notation as transposed whether in Concert Pitch Mode or in Transposition Mode. I want to reverse that decision and can’t seem to find the setting. My goal is to display actual pitch in Concert Pitch Mode and display notated pitch (8va) in Transposition Mode. My brain is just not working today. All help appreciated.

Thank you.

Keep in mind that by far the most common convention is that octave-transposing instruments should be displayed at “played” pitch, and not “sounding” pitch.
