Actually i'm sometimes sharp in the staff, above the staff tends to be fine though... It never use to happen in the past at all... Then again i wasn't playing as high back then, I'm mostly above the staff now for just about all the stuff i play...

Maybe you've adapted your embouchure to a higher set point that makes the note targets down in the staff feel like they're in a different place from what you remember way back when.

Well - Best Brass resolves the problem with different length backbores.

http://www.bestbrass.com/mouthpiece/ (scroll down the website page)

You could experiment with a tight backbore and a Trumpet/Trumpet mouthpiece adapter. If that is too flat - you could try having the adapter shortened and turned down.
