You can transpose the songs either manually or by using Guitar Pro if you happen to have it.

hmm

I don't know if you've tried the Tascam CD trainers, but they're excellent for solving this problem. I used to have the same problem; my floyd-equipped guitars were mostly set up for Eb tuning, which made transcribing a collosal pain in the ass if the song was in D or E. Nowadays I just use whatever tuning the guitar's in to begin with and use the Tascam to transpose the song to whatever my guitar's tuned to.

Kinda perverse I know, but it spares a lot of headaches caused by having to constantly transpose everything up or down a fret or messing around with toolkits...

StevieHimself has a spectacular aura about
I think Ion Dissonance tunes to A-flat (now they play 8-strings, so who knows where that's going now!) Beneath The Massacre might be in A-flat as well. There's a band from Philly that I saw last week called Murder In Greenwich and they tune to A.
