<pre wrap="">It seems clear that addressing scordatura at a higher level than the note requires grouping notes by the string they're to be played on, something like @string="G", as well as saying -- maybe in the staffDef -- how each string transposes.
How about timpani parts like the ones my "Written Vs. Sounding Pitch" article discusses, including Beethoven's Third and Fourth? [...] The best way to handle this might be to somehow say in the staffDef that all B's sound as B-flats.

I think that instead of trying to find special purpose solutions for
all the different cases, it would be useful to have a general way of
distinguishing<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li> "naive" written pitch (as if one didn't know about
scordatura, harmonics, ottava, horn/timpany conventions etc.)</li>
<li> logical pitch (ignoring instrument transposition)</li>
<li> sounding pitch</li>
</ol>
<br>
For 1., @pname/@oct/@occid/<accid> could be used just the way
the are apprently used right now. For 3., according to Perry,
@pname.ges/@oct.ges/@accid.ges are the go to attributes:<br>

But there's nothing for 2. This means, for a Bb instrument in a
passage with <tt><octave dis="8" dis.place="above"/></tt>, a
note could be encoded like:<br>
<br>
<tt> <note </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> pname="c" oct="4" </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> pname.log="c" oct.log="5"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> pname.ges="b" accid.ges="f" oct.ges="4"/></tt>
