The solution depends on the application. For a conductor (although, IANAC), it is much easier to have a C score, especially if the piece contains funky screech-boink type chords. However, older music traditionally is written scores with transposing instruments. That's also preferred when the score is used for playing. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
