Inconsistency of transposition information in staff labels during clarinet instrument changes

The flow starts with clarinets in A. Everything is fine

Then the clarinets change to B flat (in German B). So far so good, this is the end of the system and page

However on the next pages the transposition information is missing

Later it turns back to A and the transposition information appears again.

In the same bar range the horns change from A to As (A flat) which is displayed correctly.

Just in case, have you checked Library > Instruments > Klarinette (B) (in score) > Edit Instrument Name > Show Transposition (bottom of the dialog): it should be set to “Always” or to “Follow Layout Options”, maybe in your case it’s set to “Never”?

Thanks for the response, I checked this first, it’s set to “Follow Layout Options”.

And I can confirm that the settings of the horns are exactly the same.
I deleted also all custom text in the properties, no change.

Update: You pointed me in the right direction. After changing the option to Never and then back to Follow the transposition information magically appeared. Thanks a lot, much appreciated.
