Check out the following code. Two odd things happen. First, if I
transpose "\transpose a bf" without the commas it transposes two
octaves higher than expected. Does this have something to do with the
"relative a,," of the surrounding block? It certainly seems
counterintuitive.
More problematical, since I haven't figured out a workaround, is the
output. In the key of A the D is above the A as I would expect since
it is closer to go up than down. When it switches to Bb the Eb drops
below the Bb even though that is a fifth down. The higher Eb is still
only a fourth away from the Bb. What gives?
LeftVerse must be \relative to be transposed with \tranpose
See Transpose in section 1.1.2 of the Notation Reference
