It clearly isn't true. Also it is a non-sequitur. \transpose, like
many music functions, takes one music expression. Which can be a
sequential music expression, even an empty one (which is still an
expression of type SequentialMusic, just one with () as its elements
field).

Shrug. You'll find that convincing LilyPond is not as easy as
convincing yourself. It's not particularly susceptible to syllogisms.
