Repro:
Take a song. I use Skies.sty Slow 12-8 RnbBlues.

Select a part in the mixer. I am selecting organ.

The Notation display displays a crowded unreadable gaggle of notes all above top C of treble Clef.

I want to be able to read them an octaved down - so as it is easier to identify notes (without counting ledger lines)

Go to the box with no label (why no label?) in the Notation window - the one LHS next to the black box with green letters - which should say "Organ".
Click on the box and change it from 0, to -12. This should bring the up the "Visiul Notation display".
type in -12
This should bring the visual display down an octave.

Nothing happens to the display - the track is not frozen.

OK, this all appears to work for me. I am using the demo song for skies.sty Slow 12-8. On first play the notation for the organ in the notation window is as you describe, but it is easy to transpose it down one or two octaves. Go to the Mixer, R-click on Organ. Select "edit midi". Then select "transpose". Then select "transpose one octave down". Repeat this to move it another octave down if you wish.

Over in the notation window, select organ and you should be seeing all that I have described.

Not at a computer, but one way I adjust this is Preferences, Channels, and enter -1 in the correct row & column (2nd?) for the chosen instrument’s octave.

This works for me. I go into "Notation Mode" (#1 on the image), select the OPT button (#2) and then set "Transpose" to -24.

I did nothing to repair it. Therefore the issue may return.
