My brain is not working at the moment.  (Not enough to understand your 
explanation)  But I applied the "d2" transposition, and the problem went 
away.

If the error was mine, then there's no need for the "simplify" function 
I mentioned.  Perhaps.  It would/could have been a more generalized 
function, used to correct mis-spelled sharps/flats regardless of how 
they came about (whether through "transpose" or some other way).  But if 
these problems don't occur, then, obviously, no need.  Thanks for helping
