Score - transposed vs. concert pitch - is this a question or a request?

As I was done working on a score (in concert pitch), I just had it printed and sent, forgetting either to switch to transposed pitch beforehand, or to create a note on the score mentioning, that it was in concert pitch.
Is there a way (and here comes the request in case it doesn’t) to either have a printable note automatically showing on the score whenever you switch to concert pitch or, having the transposing instruments shifting to “@label in C”? (the parts remaining transposed, of course)?
As it is now, when the score is showing, and printing, in concert pitch, we end up having, for instance, a Horn in F, where the pitch is already transposed, right?

There is a token {@layoutTransposition@} that will do this. You can even set custom text in Layout Options > Page setup > Text tokens.

Hi @pedroduvall, there is a neat Preference in Preferences > General > Files that, if activated, warns you when you are exporting or printing your files:

Thank you @Craig_F and @Christian_R . While the token {@layoutTransposition@} works as expected, it returns a stentence in english, which not always fits my needs. Therefore, I chose the warning as the solution.

You can set custom text for the Tokens under Library->Layout Options->Page Setup->Text Tokens.

Thank you @jesele. I gave it a try and it works great. Definitely the solution for me is going to be using both the customized token output plus the warning.
This program and this community is great :+1:
