Contrabassoon entry

Hi, when I play a written C3 (C below middle C) using my MIDI keyboard in a Contrabassoon staff, it enters C4 instead. (Transposed score)

Seems to be an odd default choice… I realize the contra transposes an octave, but why would one want that behavior on entry? Those of us using short keyboards would have to spend so much time mucking about with transposing the notes just to get it to appear in the correct written octave.

This is a known issue. See this thread for further discussion from earlier this year.
