This comes from your use of transpose. If you want to use this with
transpose then you'll have to decide/invent accidentals for this
alterations. What accidental would you use for a

Or alternatively, just be careful to prefer eighth-tone alterations
within the semitone (which is usually nicer for the player anyway).
