Greetings, Owain Sutton -

It's not clear to me exactly what you want to see. Can you supply an
example? Would an ossia staff be appropriate?

I'm not sure whether the functionality I'm looking for comes under 'quote' or 
'cue' operations.

This is the soprano cornet part I'm quoting from:

Using 'transposedCueDuring', it appears like this in a tenor horn part: 
http://i.imgur.com/06B1kgf.png. The slurs, dynamics etc. are stripped out, but 
I want them to be included.

Is there a way to (a) use 'transposedCueDuring' which retains these details 
from the original, or (b) use 'quoteDuring' instead, but with reduced note 
sizes similar to those from the 'cue' operation?
