transposition by tritone?

Yes, by tritone.  ::)  Fun.

Someone asked me about doing that.  Is there a trick to transposing things, reading the music, by tritone?

My solution:  Write it all out and don't transpose.


Otherwise I was thinking by chords in roman numeral and solfege.  It really doesn't matter what key it's going into then.  It just jars my brain sometimes.
