Hello,
Here's the way I understand it (but I may be wrong, of course).
Imagine you wrote a alto saxophone part, but you notated all in real sounds.
So, following your example below, it should be notated in A.
My understanding of transposing instruments is, for example: score is
notated in C but it sounds as A.
You may use the \transpose command this way :
\new Staff \transpose c a \mySaxvariable
Shouldn't it be the opposite?
\traspose a c
Unless you meant to say that notes are entered in C. But I wouldn't call
it "real sounds".
I'm quite confused about transposition...
As you may know, alto sax transpose one sixth lower, you must thus raise it
by the same interval. But, in relative mode, the distance between c and a
would only be a third, not a sixth. So, when you define the transposition
interval with two notes, (c and a in this example), they are considered
being in absolute mode (sixth interval, here), not in relative mode even if
\mySaxvariable contains notes in relative mode.

Thanks Philippe,
this is clear but the first sentence still looks obscure to me :)
How would you rephrase it? "Its argument" is the part that maybe is not
so straightforward:
"The relative conversion will not affect \transpose, \chordmode or
\relative sections in its argument."
