Copying and pasting is transposing everything inconsistently

I am trying to copy the second movement of my organ concerto so that it is one continuous document with the first movement for the purpose of making the parts fit better on the page. Unfortunately, when I do this, all of the key signatures are correct, but the pitches are off, and to make matters worse, it's different from one key to the next. The first section is in E major, and all of the pitches are a M3 lower than they should be. Another section is in B flat major, and all of the pitches are a m7 lower than they should be. Etc.
I have the copy-and-past filter set to copy absolutely everything. As an experiment, I set it not to use the filter, and it still happened.
Can anyone venture a guess as to why this is happening?
I'm posting the first 56 or so measures of the problem passages, along with the original, so that you can compare if you want to. The first 47 measures, in E major, are off by a M3, but the passage that starts at m. 48 is in C major and is correct! When it returns to E major at m. 74, the pitches are off by a M3 again. Unfortunately, I can't post that much of it, so you'll have to take my word for it that it's not copying and pasting as it should.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks!
I just tried the same with the same results you got. Maybe I just need to copy and paste each section separately.

I agree that I don't see why I should have to—and I shouldn't have to—but something about the copy and paste process is messing up.
And now that I went back to trying it again, copied and pasted onto the end of the first movement, it's happening all over again. Is it something about the first movement itself that is causing this?

Thanks so much! I just went through and got it all straightened out, except for the many clefs it changed. Once I fix those, I need to triple check it to make sure I didn't miss something.
