What you have written is quite in line, but I suspect the original poster is not interested in learning to read an octave down. I find that most amateurs are willing to do the work to transcribe the parts, but not the work to learn to read them as is. I don't know why this is; maybe it's like math anxiety, which I don't understand either.

So I "third" the opinion that learning to read an octave down is really the best solution. I'm in my 50's and still learning new clefs and even new instruments. I guess it's all in what you are not intimidated by. I'm much more annoyed to have to copy part after part, than I am to just learn to read it. But I am not an old dog learning new tricks, rather an old dog continuing the same tricks in different versions.
