Baroque pitch isn't a matter of transposing. The difference between the
A=432 (Baroque pitch) and the A=440 (modern pitch) is only about a 1/4
step. The way one achieves that is to have the accompanying instruments
retuned using a tuning fork (or other tuning device) with the A set to 432
cycles per second, instead of 440. To my knowledge, there has not yet
been a new musical notation system wherein one can tranposed pieces by
microtones.
