aaaaah. okay, now i understand. the pitch is lower, so those "high" notes i'm seeing are actually lower. got it. this i didn't know. obvouisly i'm an amateur, and haven't strayed past Bb, and i haven't played the horn or the music yet (they gave me the horn, but since i recently moved i had to go dig my mouthpieces out of storage).
