I had a christmas carol "Zu Bethlehem geboren" with is in F-Dur. That
piece has a bass voice going to "großem F" more than once. Since the
other voice are not at all at their upper limit, I thought to
transpose the carol by 1 or 2 tones to G-Dur or A-Dur.
This turned out difficult for the following reason.
Using the \transposition with the \score
\score {
\transposition D {
\new ChoirStaff <<
...
>>
}
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
gave error: wrong Typ of Argument 1, pitch expected, "D" found
I than used \transpose for individual voices, which lost the \relative
c'' property and the notes had to be individually positioned.
Furthermore the whole piece is still noted in F-Dur which makes for
some unusual naturals.
Is there a way to raise an entire piece of music by one note value?
There’s no problem with just writing
\score {
\transpose f g
\new ChoirStaff <<
…
>>
}
\transposition is intended for use with transposing instruments in
orchestral scores, a whole different issue.
