Speaking of accidentals not correctly handled when using transposition: the current implementation of figured bass in LilyPond is only graphical (contrary to chords/chordmode). It is possible to add accidentals to the figures with + ! -, but since figuremode is not (currently) somehow "linked" to notes, these accidentals are not correctly modified when the piece is transposed. I do not see how one could do that, nor if this "feature" is really asked/needed a lot, the amount of work or possible compatibility breaks, hence before submitting a feature request to bug-lilypond, I would like to know your thoughts about this.
