Metonymy, like any figurative language can indeed cause confusion in a technical area.
…Except for some poor musicians in very low-budget productions, where it’s expected from them to play from copies of scores - or even individually cut and paste paper strips to make playable parts from it…
There is (was) even a dedicated webpage for this: partifi.org
For a while it stopped working, but I think it’s back up again..
I liked the idea of this webpage, set up by musicians (gamba players).
Still, I never ever joined the sticking club as I decided to rather rewrite my part on the computer (the reason I started with Sibelius decades ago).

Yes, Partifi still exists, I recently got parts made with it from a 16th-century score. But the notes were way too small for my deteriorating eyesight, so I simply recreated my own part in Dorico, nice, big, and black, which I also do when they just send you the vocal score only.
I still remember - as if it was yesterday - the day back in the last century, when I had to play at 8:30 in the morning in a dark church in Eastern Germany from tiny scores. The first oboist, who was a bit older, complained that it was hardly readable - I thought “he is right”.
And that was the day when I decided to always rewrite the music to have decent performance material. That way also made the colleagues happy.

Hi all, I’m replying to myself for this.
I have just followed this same exact procedure and nothing happens, as in the second layout is not transposed. Can anyone help me?
here are the settings for the new layout I have created:
And here are the results…both layouts are the same and no transposition is applied:
Any idea of what I could be missing?
Thanks

As this is a score are you in concert pitch?
yes, and have a second layout for Bb
But if this is a score layout you have to switch to transposed pitch.

Thank you so much for this!…I’m so dumb I couldn’t imagine that was the culprit.
Thanks!
