So do you mean that I should leave the original score alone (i.e. *not* to create a concert pitch version of the part by using \displayLilyMusic \transpose) and in the driver lilypond file that uses the score to print the separate part, I use: \transpose old_transpose_key new_transpose_key to output the part with the desired pitch?
