This wasn’t from me… but I wholeheartedly agree: Lily’s default/built-in implementation of transposing instruments is rather incomplete/poor (see, for example, <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2015-01/msg00201.html> and <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-05/msg00067.html> for an idea of the problems and workarounds). I believe there has been some recent improvement via openlilylib, but I haven’t had time to investigate In any case, the main distro should have much better tools to handle transposing instruments more deftly.
