Thanks Sebastien,
I was afraid of this kind of answer, if define-music-function cant do
something as simple as replace one note on a \transpose without writing a
whole bunch of code... I'm not going to bother with it myself. Too much
complexity, I'd rather look for something that will let me stay on a
user-level, I just dont have time for programming.
Lilypond desperately needs some king of built-in text pre-process (that
installs with lilypond) to take care of these things, instead of everybody
having to constantly re-write the core lilypond code to do such simple
things.
