Mahalo, X. I am using the naturalizeMusic function and will look into
extending that. Maybe that has some nuggets to mine.

Hello,
Instead of putting \transpose cis' a you could put the enharmonic
\transpose des' a
Then you would have a F# instead of a Gb, but that would change the
other pitches as well in the new (equivalent) tonality.
There is also the naturalizeMusic function documented in NR 1.1.2
Transpose pitches with minimum accidentals ("Smart" transpose) that
could help.
Kind regards,
Xavier
