Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that is all there is to it. I
changed the clef to Bass and in doing so the notes change position on
the staff. I want to have the notes remain in the same positions on the
staff in bass clef as they are in treble clef. Only the key signature
should change. The Alto Sax part is in the key of C, so the bass clef
part should be in, I don't know, my theory is so rusty I can't think
that one up.

For transposing from E-flat to concert pitch, see the docs on

To change it to bass clef, just use a command
\clef "bass"
The easiest way to put put music into a different clef/register is to
store the notes in a variable and simply use different \relative
levels to put it in the right octave:
%%% start cut-and-paste section %%%
%% define the pitches
notes = { c d e f }
%% start pitches on middle C
\relative c' { \notes }
%% put same pitches in bass clef an 8ve lower
\relative c { \clef "bass" \notes }
%% transpose notes for an e-flat instrument
\transpose es c' { \relative c' { \notes }}
%% transpose from e-flat instrument to concert pitch
\transpose c es, { \relative c'' { \notes } }
%%% end cut-and-paste section %%%
Hope that helps,

I have a piece written for Eb Alto Sax and would like to transpose it
to Bass Clef Trombone. I've read a bunch of posts in the archives and
am now more confused than ever. It should be relatively easy, as the
bass clef bone should be able to read the notes as written, but just
change the key sig? Right? I think...
Please shed some light on this for me,
Thanks.
