General problem with transposing winds shown at sounding pitch in BG #25

We started working with BG in the 1980s and did not take into account its distance from current conventions for indicating transposing instruments in full scores. The affected instruments are usually used in pairs. I will append instances here.

In BWV 232, the oboe d'amore is the offender. It is pitched in A. See Items 1 and 2.

In BWV 1 it is the oboe da caccia (pitched in F), but BWV 1 (Nos. 1 ad 6) seems to be correct.
